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 Worthing

Worthing's rapid growth through Durrington and Goring-by-Sea means dozens of small service businesses running on ageing laptops and external drives, often with no backup plan. A hard drive failure on Friday can destroy a week's worth of job photos, accounts, or customer records. I recover what you thought was lost, and the reassurance of working with someone local—someone you can call and actually speak to—is worth its weight in gold.

Your Questions, Answered

How quickly can you recover my data if my drive failed today?

Diagnosis typically same-day or next-day if you bring it in. Recovery speed depends on the failure type: software-level deletion is quick; physical damage takes more careful work. I give you realistic timelines before starting, not promises that evaporate.

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.

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.
