Frequently Asked Questions About Data Recovery

Q: How much does data recovery typically cost in Birmingham? A: Simple logical recovery (like deleted files from an SD card) might start around £89. For a failed hard drive needing more complex work, it could be £200-£500. Severe physical damage or complex RAID recovery can be £700+. Always get a free diagnostic and quote first!

Q: Is it worth paying for data recovery? A: If it’s irreplaceable photos, vital business documents, or years of research, then yes—professional data recovery is often worth the investment. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your chances and costs.

Q: My external hard drive is clicking. Can the data be recovered? A: A clicking hard drive usually means a mechanical failure. Data recovery is often possible, but it typically requires specialist cleanroom work. Stop using it immediately and bring it to our Birmingham workshop for a free evaluation.

Q: Can you recover deleted photos from my phone or SD card? A: Yes, very often! Accidental deletion is a common scenario. For SD cards and many Android phones, our data recovery service has a high success rate. iPhone recovery can be more complex, but we have solutions.
