The town of Bridgwater runs on the data of industrial estates and distribution parks and the many contractors who are at work on Hinkley Point C (nuclear power station) and that data has to be saved, and therefore has to remain recoverable. We are Bristol Data Recovery; located a straight run up the M5 and have been recovering damaged hard disks, solid state disks, RAID systems, network attached storage devices and server equipment within our facility for more than two decades. Drop it off, or post it in. Free diagnostic, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
As well as being conveniently located for dropping off your damaged data storage device, around 30 miles from Bridgwater, our drop-off point at Bristol is easily accessible via postal delivery.
Bridgwater is an industrious and busy working town and a historic port on the River Parrett in Somerset. It is a market town with approximately 42,000 residents and a large centre for many industries such as manufacturing and distribution along the M5. Additionally, with the construction of Hinkley Point C on the coast nearby, there are now contractors, suppliers, and logistics companies from across the country that have moved into the area. This will add to the current industrial-based economy in the town.
As you can see, when you have that amount of data (business, personal) with so many different types of items (project files, compliance and accounting documents, logistics systems, etc.) and households with years of photos all on a single hard drive, when it fails (an external drops, an SSD dies, an array fails), your ability to do work (or access memories) is brought to a complete stop.
We are Bristol Data Recovery which is located about 30 miles up the M5 and we have been recovering data from this type of media for residents and businesses in Bridgwater for over two decades. We recover data from: hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks, camera cards, Macs, laptops, RAID arrays, NAS boxes, servers and databases. All data recoveries are done in house by our experienced staff.
Because we are a clear run up the motorway, you have the option to drop-off your item at our Bristol location, or post it to us (fully insured). Every job starts with a complimentary written diagnosis and fixed price quote, we can often give priority to business critical repairs, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

If you live in Bridgwater, you are just a short trip up the M5; either drop it by and go through it in person, or post it to us.

We will review your device, typically within 48 hours, and provide a fixed written quote prior to commencing any repair/recovery services.
Once repaired/recovered, we will verify your data by comparing what has been recovered with a file listing; you may then pick up the recovered files in person, or have them posted back to you on new storage media.
If you prefer to drop off your items instead of sending them by post or courier, you skip the post entirely. Priority services may also be available for critical business cases; please advise us at the time of your call.

True client testimonials from our two-decade archive.
I would highly recommend Bristol 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. Bristol 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.
