// data recovery in hartlepool

A port town built on engineering.

Approximately 92,000 residents live in Hartlepool, along with Hartlepool College of Further Education, and the port, offshore fabrication and nuclear power. Each of these sectors creates a large amount of valuable data which could be an enormous loss if lost. Dissertations and research papers by students, client work and case files, business records by companies, and family photographs from family members who have never backed up their photos. All of this data sits on hard drives that can fail without warning.

Almost all failed drives will have retained their data intact. The problem lies within the electronics, heads or file structure, but not the data itself. This is then simply lifted off safely by someone that does this daily. We are approximately 30 miles away, therefore the vast majority of customers send their drive to us via fully insured post. It is easy to track and we pay for the return.

Data recovery since 2002. Free diagnostic report (in writing), fixed price quotation prior to commencing any work, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

As Newcastle Data Recovery, approximately thirty miles north of Hartlepool via the A19, we have been recovering the exact type of data from Hartlepool residential and commercial properties since 2002. We do everything here, from external drives that were dropped to failure of a RAID server, always in-house and never sent out to a third party.

You can either bring your device into our Newcastle location, or send it in fully insured. All jobs start with a complimentary written diagnostic and a set price quotation; if required, we can provide an auditable paper trail regarding the handling (chain of custody) of your media; in many cases, priority can be given to business critical jobs; and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

Before you post or drop off your device, please get a quote from us by phone or with the form. Once we receive your device, our recovery process can start.

Common questions from Hartlepool.

We are located in Newcastle which is about thirty miles north on the A19. This is approximately 45 minutes by car from Hartlepool. We have been recovering data for customers in both Hartlepool and Seaton Carew since 2002. If you would like to bring your device into our Newcastle location, you may drop it off during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm), or send it to us by insured post.

Yes, we specialise in that area. In addition to RAID array recovery, NAS unit restoration, physical and virtual server recovery, and SQL Server, Oracle, and Exchange database recovery, we also handle all our own projects (never subcontracting). When required for legal cases, HR department, insurance claims etc., we will provide detailed chain of custody documentation, and we prioritise critical business jobs.

Yes, if you can provide the key, password, or recovery information, we can retrieve data from encrypted drives such as BitLocker, FileVault and VeraCrypt. As encryption is designed to protect data from everyone (including us), before starting on an extraction project, we will need to verify what will be necessary prior to beginning the work.

Throughout Hartlepool and the surrounding area, which includes Hartlepool, Seaton Carew, Headland, Hart, Elwick, Greatham and Billingham. Pricing and services are identical no matter where you are located.

Normally we will recover data from most jobs in 3 to 4 working days, and normally complete the free diagnosis within 48 hours. Please note: as a rough guide our prices start from £250 + VAT for recovery of individual USB sticks and memory cards, from £300 + VAT for hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs) and from £500 + VAT for recovery of RAID, NAS and server systems etc.; however all quotes are fixed and provided in writing prior to commencement of work, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
