From the businesses of Taunton (county town) to the construction workers based near Hinkley Point Nuclear Power Station to the many farms in the Vale, there are lots of organisations creating digital information, which we ensure remains recoverable with Bristol Data Recovery. With Bristol Data Recovery being located up the M5 in Bristol, just a short drive from Taunton, we have been providing recovery services for hard drives, SSDs, RAID systems, NAS units and servers in-house for over two decades. You may simply drop off your damaged storage device or send it to us via postal service. Our diagnostics are free, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Taunton is approximately 50 miles away from our Bristol drop-off location, close enough to be easily dropped off and far enough that posting is an option.
The area is also home to one of England’s largest nuclear power projects; Hinkley Point C. The project employs many workers and draws many more into the local economy through supply chain contracts. Much of the surrounding countryside (the Vale of Taunton Deane) however, remains very rural. Taunton is the county town of Somerset, a market town with a population of approximately 60,000 residents, the county cricket ground at its heart and a long agricultural and cider-making tradition. It is an important regional centre for commerce and service provision.
The above mentioned mixture produces an enormous amount of information: both business and personal. This includes accounts, project files, agricultural/trade records as well as photographs of families/individuals taken throughout many years of their lives. When that piece of equipment used to store that information fails (dropped external hard drive; dead SSD, etc.; failed RAID array) your ability to work, or access past memories may be brought to a standstill.
We are Bristol Data Recovery, approximately 50 miles north along the M5 motorway and have been recovering the type of data listed above from Taunton homes and businesses for over two decades. All types of hardware including but not limited to hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks, memory cards, Mac computers, laptop computers, RAID arrays, NAS boxes, servers and databases are sent to our location for recovery. Every recovery is completed by one of our employees.
Being so close to the M5 motorway makes it easy for customers to drop their unit off at our Bristol location or send it to us by post fully insured. We provide a free written diagnostic prior to every job being started and all quotes are fixed. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The four most common type of work that we see from the Vale and town.
The same service exists from Taunton, to Wellington, Bridgwater, and all nearby villages: drop it off with us, or send it to us via postal services that are fully insured.
From Taunton you have a clear run north along the M5 motorway; bring your drive into our office and discuss the issues with us, or simply send it to us via postal services (if you prefer).
Simply contact us with the model name of the affected device(s), along with a description of how it became unusable, and we will inform you of approximately what we expect the cost to be prior to commencing any work.
Bring your equipment (device), or just the hard drive(s) if you are using a laptop, NAS or server, to our office at Bristol Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. Or send the device fully insured via the postal service.
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.

We are based in Bristol which is approximately 50 miles north on the M5 motorway (approximately 50 minutes drive time) from Taunton. In fact, we have been recovering data for customers in Taunton and throughout Somerset for over two decades from our Bristol base.

It depends on what works best for you. Many customers come from Taunton, which is close to the motorway (M5), and simply drop off their drives. You can drop off your laptop, NAS or server drives, pre-labelled. Alternatively if you do not wish to travel then you can send them by post. They should be sent fully insured and trackable. In either case you receive a free initial diagnostic with a fixed quote.
Yes, it is a significant portion of our services. We have been recovering RAID arrays, NAS units (network attached storage), physical & virtual servers, and SQL/Exchange databases, both in-house and never outsourcing. Many times, when time is critical to a job, we can prioritise them and will document a chain of custody if required.
The entire town of Taunton plus the surrounding areas (Wellington, Bridgwater, Wiveliscombe, Bishops Lydeard, North Petherton & Norton Fitzwarren) can have this service at the same price. It really does not matter where you are.
Most cases can be recovered in around 3 to 4 working days with a free diagnostic being provided within 48 hours.
