Sitting right between Newcastle and Durham, Cramlington is about as close to our drop-off as it gets. We're Newcastle Data Recovery, barely 8 miles down the A1, recovering hard drives, SSDs, camera cards, NAS units and servers in-house for since 2002. Drop your device off in person, or post it in. Free diagnostic, no fix no fee on most jobs, and a written quote first.
Around 9 miles and 20 minutes from Cramlington to the bench — an easy drop-off, or a quick insured post.
Cramlington has around 29,000 people, Northumberland College nearby, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision engineering and light industry. 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 9 miles away on the Quayside, so dropping the device in is easy — but posting it is just as good, and we pay the return.
Recovering data since 2002. Free written diagnostic, a fixed quote before any work begins, and no fix, no fee on most jobs.

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.
