Data Recovery in Lewes
A lifeline when disaster strikes, aiming to retrieve irreplaceable files from failed or damaged hard drives.
From home offices to high-street premises across Lewes, I handle the tech so you can get on with the day job.
The Problem
a catastrophic hard drive failure with years of critical client work, accounts, and photos on it.
What I Do
an emergency data recovery service to retrieve irreplaceable files from failed or damaged hard drives, providing a lifeline when disaster strikes.
Local Knowledge Matters in Lewes
Lewes' independent business owners—the shopkeepers, tradespeople, and craftspeople who trade alongside the castle and historic pubs—rarely have proper backups. A corrupted drive holding a season's records or a photographer's portfolio feels like catastrophe in a tight-knit market town. I recover those files locally, and you're never wondering whether your irreplaceable work is safe in transit to some distant facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
I work across Lewes and the villages like Ringmer and Plumpton. Can you recover data if my drive failure stops my whole business?
Yes. Data recovery is my priority when your business is halted. I typically diagnose the failure same-day and can start recovery work immediately. Most software-level failures turn around in days, not weeks.
How much does data recovery cost?
Every recovery is different: sometimes it's a quick software fix, other times it's a more intensive hardware-level job. Rather than quoting a figure without knowing what's happened, I'd rather you message me briefly describing the problem (what device, what happened, what you need recovered) and I'll come back with a clear estimate before any work starts. No surprise bills, no jargon.
What types of failure can you recover from?
Deleted files, formatted drives, corrupted partitions, failed SSDs, and some physically damaged hard drives. Severe physical damage (fire, flood) may need specialist lab recovery.
How long does data recovery take?
It depends entirely on the type of failure. Software-level recoveries are usually quick; physically damaged drives need more careful handling and sometimes specialist lab work. I assess your drive first, give you an honest scope with a realistic view, and keep you posted at each stage, no guessing, no vague promises.
How can I prevent data loss in future?
The 3-2-1 backup rule: 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media, with 1 offsite (e.g. cloud). I can set this up automatically so it runs in the background.
