// data recovery for barnsley

Customers come to us from right across the borough of Barnsley (S70 to S75), and they tend to follow a familiar pattern: a family external drive full of photos that stopped being detected, a work laptop that met a cup of tea, a memory card that formatted itself mid-holiday. It's all recoverable more often than not, as long as the device stops being used the moment something goes wrong.

Once you have had a price quotation by phone on 0800 689 0668 or through our free online diagnostic, sending your device to us from Barnsley takes just one trip to the Post Office to arrange Royal Mail Special Delivery, which arrives with us the following morning, fully tracked and insured. The diagnostic is free, your quote is fixed, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

// getting your device to us

Post your device to us from Barnsley — it's simple

Our customers get a quote first, before sending their media to us, either by telephone on 0800 689 0668 or by completing our free online diagnostic. Once a customer has their quote, they post their media to us, tracked and insured.

Sending a drive from a computer, laptop, MacBook, iMac, CCTV / DVR or server? If so, please remove the hard drive or SSD from your machine and just send the drive itself to us. We don't offer a service to remove the hard drive or SSD from your machine. If you are sending disks from a server or RAID system, please send all of them and label each disk by the bay it was removed from, so our engineers can see which bay each disk came from. With Apple Silicon Macs and some thin laptops, the data is held on storage soldered to the board and cannot be accessed via a removable drive, so we can't recover these. Therefore, if you're unsure whether your device has a removable drive, please contact us before posting anything.

  • Please bubble wrap the entire device, or use a padded envelope if you've got one. A single external drive should be posted complete with its enclosure, cable and power supply. With regards to any other types of equipment there's no requirement to include any cables.
  • Print off the booking-in & shipping form (PDF). Fill in your name, contact telephone number and briefly describe what happened. Place this inside the parcel when you post it.
  • Please use Royal Mail Special Delivery or your own preferred tracked courier so that your parcel is fully insured whilst in transit.
  • Do you want to give us the item in person? If so, once you receive your quote, go to the reception at the Leeds lab at the address shown. The hours for this are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. No appointment is required.

Common questions

To start, please get a quote first, by calling 0800 689 0668 or submitting the free online diagnostic. Then simply post the device to us. One of the easiest ways to send items is via Royal Mail Special Delivery from any Barnsley branch. It arrives the next morning and is tracked and insured. Otherwise, you are able to use a tracked courier of your choice. For those who wish to hand-deliver their device, they may do so at the Leeds lab's reception in Leeds city centre, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. In all instances, the diagnostic remains completely free.
No, the clicking of the hard drive indicates a mechanical failure, which could permanently damage the platters every time you turn the drive on. Keep the item disconnected from power and do nothing else to it until you have obtained a quote by phoning 0800 689 0668 or completing the free online diagnostic form. At that stage you can post the item to us in its current state.
Each job begins with a complimentary diagnostic. Following the diagnostic, we shall provide you with just one fixed quote based on the actual fault, prior to beginning any work, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
