From the Docks to the aerospace and cyber security companies that populate the M5 corridor, Gloucester relies heavily on data. And we make sure they have a way to get back that data. For over two decades now, Bristol Data Recovery has been providing in-house hard drive, SSD, RAID array, NAS unit & server recovery services to businesses & home users throughout Gloucestershire. Bring your media into Bristol (or send via post); free diagnostic, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Approximately 35 miles from Gloucester to our Bristol drop off location, so you can easily drop off your media or send it via post.
With approximately 130,000 people living there and a larger than average industrial history (historic Docks & Quays, a cathedral which has existed for almost one thousand years, as well as a significant cluster of advanced engineering/aerospace companies, including landing gear/propeller manufacturers, and supporting supply chain located along the M5), Gloucester forms part of a major cyber-security corridor (along with Cheltenham).
This entire operation relies on data, including CAD & engineering files, design archives, client & financial records and research and case files.
If you are based in Gloucestershire and you lose access to your data due to storage failure (be it a laptop, external drive or multi-disk business RAID system) then the consequences could be severe. As such for over two decades now, Bristol Data Recovery, around 35 miles down the M5, have provided Gloucestershire homes and businesses with recovery solutions for just this type of data loss. We provide recovery services for all types of media storage: from damaged external hard drives through to failed RAID servers. Every recovery service provided is carried out by our own engineers; we do not use third party providers.
Since we are local, you can either take your device into our Bristol office or send it to us via a fully insured shipping method. All of our jobs begin with a complimentary diagnostic report and a fixed price quote. We will also often work to prioritise your business-critical repair requests as quickly as possible. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

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.
