From the University and the Science Park to the villages along the Stanwix, Carlisle runs on data — and when a drive or card fails, it rarely means the data is gone. We're a Newcastle-based recovery service trusted across Stanwix, with over two decades of bringing the irreplaceable back. No travel needed: post it in, fully insured.
Newcastle-based, Around 60 miles a short run along the A69 — close enough to count, with nothing for you to drive.
Carlisle has around 75,000 people, the University of Cumbria, and logistics, food production, agriculture and a large public sector. Between them they generate a great deal of data that would be painful to lose — dissertations and research, client work and case files, business records, and the family photographs nobody thought to back up. It sits on drives that fail without warning.
Most failed drives still hold their data perfectly. The fault is almost always in the electronics, the heads or the file system — not in the data itself. It just needs lifting off safely, by people who do this every day. We are about 60 miles away, so most people post the device in fully insured. It is simple, it is tracked, and we cover the return.
Recovering data since 2002. Free written diagnostic, a fixed quote before any work begins, and no fix, no fee on most jobs.

Genuine client stories from our two-decade testimonial archive.
I would highly recommend Newcastle Data Recovery to anyone needing a Professional Data Recovery Service. My Toshiba Laptop failed while on the train one afternoon. There was no warning and it did not get dropped. Newcastle Data Recovery recovered everything from Toshiba Laptop within 48 hours. I was relieved as I am a self employed graphic designer and I had an Illustrator project on the hard drive.
We had a portable Western Digital Passport hard drive that was dead and would not connect to PC. I would like to say that the Recovery service was perfect from start to end, they managed to recover most of the data that we needed which was great.
