From the cathedral city's businesses to the garrisons of the Tyne valley and the Tyne valley, Northumberland holds a great deal of data worth keeping. We're Newcastle Data Recovery, recovering hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays, NAS units and servers in-house for since 2002. Drop it off, or post it in. Free diagnostic, no fix no fee on most jobs.
Around 50 miles from Northumberland to the bench — an easy insured post, or a drop-off if you're heading our way.
Northumberland has around 320,000 people across England’s most sparsely populated county, Northumberland College and the schools of the Tyne valley, and agriculture, tourism, offshore energy on the coast and a great deal of remote professional work. 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 on the Quayside in Newcastle, so you can drop the device in or post it — whichever suits.
Recovering data since 2002. Free written diagnostic, a fixed quote before any work begins, and no fix, no fee on most jobs.
In most cases it isn't. The majority of failed drives still hold their data perfectly; the fault is in the electronics, the heads or the file system, not the data itself. It just needs lifting off safely by people who do this every day.

We recover, verify against a file listing, and you collect in person or we post it back on fresh storage.
Posting adds about a day each way; drop-offs skip it entirely. Urgent cases can often be prioritised — just ask.

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.
