Drives, SSDs, RAID sets and memory cards, recovered for Liverpool, Merseyside and the rest of the UK by post.
An external drive that started ticking on a Monday morning. A laptop SSD the machine has stopped listing. A RAID that dropped a second disk halfway through a rebuild. A card off a wedding shoot reading empty. Every one of those is an ordinary week here, and almost none of it is the end of the story. Finding out what survived costs you nothing, and the price comes back as one figure in writing before a single screw is turned.
Nearly every Liverpool data recovery job runs the same way. Post the drive to the Manchester bench, hear what is recoverable and what it would cost, then take as long as you like deciding. The answer itself is never charged for.
Nothing to pay for the diagnostic, and the quote is fixed. One written figure from £250 + VAT, agreed before any work begins — every band is listed on the data recovery cost page.
A snapped pen drive gets the same attention as a forty-disk SAN. Diagnosis comes first, then a single recovery service covering deleted, corrupted, dropped and plainly dead media, spinning platters and solid state alike. Pick a device below, or ring and describe it however the words come out: the voice at the other end belongs to the data recovery experts Liverpool posts its drives to, not a call handler reading from a card.

Tracked, insured post reaches the Manchester bench the next working day. About 35 miles down the M62 if you would rather hand it in. There is no collection service.
Two working days after it arrives you have the fault, the honest odds and one fixed price. Never sooner than that.
Say the word and everything recovered travels home on an encrypted drive, from 2 to 4 working days on a single drive.
Almost every job on this bench came in by tracked, insured post. It is the calmest way to move a drive that is already struggling, and a parcel handed in anywhere on Merseyside usually reaches the bench the following working day.
Still screwed inside a laptop, tower, MacBook, iMac, server or a CCTV recorder? Take the drive out and post that on its own. We do not strip machines here, and any computer shop will do it in a few minutes. The one job nobody can take on is flash soldered straight to a logic board, as on Apple Silicon Macs and a handful of very slim laptops: if the storage will not unbolt, there is nothing to send.

Address it to Manchester Data Recovery. It is roughly 35 miles from Liverpool along the M62 if you fancy the run, and next working day by tracked post if you do not. We ring or email the moment it is booked in, and the free diagnostic closes 2 working days after that.
Not sure what belongs in the parcel? Call 0800 689 0668 before you tape it shut, or step through the free online diagnostic first.
"A WD My Passport with twelve years of family photographs on it stopped being seen by the laptop. Posted it on the Tuesday, had the price on the Thursday, and the lot came back on a new drive the week after. Nobody tried to sell me a thing."
Marie D · Crosby"Our practice server lost a second disk mid-rebuild and the IT company stopped returning calls. Every drive was copied first, then the array put back together, and nine years of records came home. Straight answers from the first phone call on."
Andrew L · St Helens"My son snapped a USB stick off in the side of his laptop the week coursework was due. The connector was rebuilt, everything came back on a new stick with photographs of the job, and it cost exactly what we had been quoted."
Joanne P · WooltonFrom the waterfront and the docks through the Baltic Triangle, out to Speke and the airport estates, up by Aintree, Bootle and Crosby, over the water to Birkenhead and the Wirral, then on to St Helens, Southport, Widnes, Runcorn, Warrington, Ormskirk and Chester — this is the bench Merseyside households and firms keep posting drives to. Because it all moves by tracked next-day post, a parcel from Ormskirk is handled no differently from one out of Wavertree, and data recovery for businesses in Liverpool starts at the nearest post office rather than a car park. Servers down and the whole firm stopped? The blog has a plain guide to disaster recovery services in Liverpool, and every town on the list is set out on the data recovery Merseyside page.
Nothing to pay for the diagnosis, one written figure after it, and £300 + VAT covers a single drive or SSD.
