// getting your device to us

Post or courier your device — it's simple

Most customers post or courier their device to us — it arrives next morning, and the free diagnostic starts the day it lands.

Sending a drive from a computer, laptop, MacBook, iMac or server? Please remove the internal hard drive or SSD and send us just the drive — we don't provide an internal drive-removal service. If the storage is soldered in (e.g. Apple Silicon), call us first on 0800 689 0668.

  • Wrap the device in bubble wrap or a padded envelope — no need to include cables or power supplies.
  • Print and enclose the booking-in & shipping form (PDF) with your name, phone number and a brief description of what happened.
  • Send by Royal Mail Special Delivery or any tracked courier for full insurance in transit.
  • Prefer to hand it over in person? You can drop it in at reception at the address shown, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:30pm.

// what customers say

Recovered for real people

★★★★★

"External drive with 12 years of family photos stopped being detected. Posted it Monday, had the diagnosis Wednesday, everything back the following week. Worth every penny."

Rachel T · Rotherham
★★★★★

"Our office NAS dropped two drives and the IT company said it was gone. These guys rebuilt the array and recovered the lot — invoices, CAD files, the works. Business saved."

Mark H · Sheffield S8
★★★★★

"Dissertation on a snapped USB stick two weeks before the deadline. They repaired the connector and emailed to say it was all there. Fast, honest and clearly explained."

Amy W · Doncaster
// frequently asked questions

Common questions

Every job starts with a free diagnostic — we assess the device, tell you exactly what's recoverable, and give you one fixed quote before any work begins. If we can't recover your data, you pay nothing under our no fix, no fee policy.
We operate a post-in and courier service for Sheffield rather than a walk-in shop. You can post it, have it collected by courier (several courier services can be booked online), or drop it at the lab reception in person, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:30pm.
Wrap the device in bubble wrap, include a note with your name and phone number, and send it by Royal Mail Special Delivery or tracked courier to our receiving lab: Leeds Data Recovery, 17th Floor, The Pinnacle, Albion Street, Leeds, LS1 5AA — marked for the attention of Leeds Data Recovery. We call you the moment it arrives.
The free diagnostic completes within 48 hours of your device arriving. Most standard recoveries finish inside a week of your go-ahead; complex RAID or physically damaged jobs can take longer, and urgent business cases can be prioritised.
Frequently, yes. Second-opinion recoveries are a regular part of our work — tell us what's already been attempted and we'll plan the safest approach for what remains. The diagnostic is still free.
Completely. Devices are logged into a secure lab, your data is handled under GDPR by our engineers only, recovered files are returned on an encrypted drive, and our working copies are securely wiped once you confirm everything is safely back.
