Local Service: Saltdean
Data Recovery in Saltdean
A lifeline when disaster strikes, aiming to retrieve irreplaceable files from failed or damaged hard drives.
Based in Sussex and covering Saltdean directly: same-week visits, no call centre, no courier-your-kit-away nonsense.
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.
The Saltdean Context
Saltdean sits on the commuter corridor between Brighton and Newhaven, home to people running businesses from their studies and small offices. Those residents check Google reviews and expect professional service, and that professionalism extends to how you handle data—they want to know their information is safe with someone they can meet locally, not lost in a postal chain. I recover files for local business owners and homeowners who value that trust and transparency.

Questions I Hear a Lot
How much does data recovery cost? I'm worried it's going to be expensive.
I give a clear estimate before any work starts. Most software-level recoveries are reasonably priced; physical failures cost more and may need specialist lab work. No surprise bills, no hidden charges—just honest assessment and pricing upfront.
What should I do if I think my drive is starting to fail?
Stop using the computer immediately. Every extra minute of use can make recovery harder or impossible. Power it off, call me, and I'll tell you the next step before anything is made worse.
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 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.
Can you recover data from a phone or tablet?
Yes. Phones and tablets follow similar principles. Water damage, broken screens, and failed iPhones/Androids are all recoverable in most cases. Backup habits for mobiles are just as important as for PCs.
