Leeds Data Recovery · est. 2000

Yorkshire’s data recovery team.

You can drop your device at our Leeds location in The Pinnacle on Albion Street, or post it to us from anywhere in Yorkshire. We recover failed hard drives and SSDs, collapsed RAID arrays and NAS boxes, dead USB sticks and memory cards, and forensic evidence for legal cases. Businesses across the region rely on us for server, NAS and disaster recovery; households bring us the one drive with the family photos on it. Every job is diagnosed and recovered in-house by our own engineers, never outsourced — the diagnosis costs nothing, the price is fixed in writing before any work starts, and on most jobs there’s nothing to pay unless we actually get your files back.

// no middleman

No middleman, no outsourcing.

We’ve been recovering data for Yorkshire since 2000, and in that time we’ve become the team other Yorkshire IT firms quietly send their hardest cases to. Failed servers, collapsed RAID 5 and RAID 10 arrays, NAS boxes that won’t rebuild, BitLocker-encrypted disks, water- and fire-damaged media — the jobs that beat recovery software reach our engineers and get done by hand, in-house by our own engineers.

No outsourcing to third parties, and a secure chain of custody from the moment you hand your device over. From a single failed laptop disk to a business-critical storage array or a disaster recovery emergency, every case starts the same way: a free diagnosis, an honest read on what’s recoverable, and a fixed price agreed before any work begins.

// recent recoveries

Recently recovered.

A few recent write-ups — identifying details held back, every result verified before it went back to the customer.

// CASE 2026-041recovered
4-bay NASRAID 5Failed rebuild

A Leeds design studio lost a second NAS disk while the array was rebuilding after the first had failed.

With two drives down the array wouldn’t mount. Each disk was imaged on its own, the RAID order and parity were worked out from the members, and the array was virtually reassembled from the images — the live project files came back whole.

// CASE 2026-036recovered
Laptop SSDNVMeLiquid damage

A spilled coffee killed a solicitor’s laptop the week a bundle was due — and the SSD was soldered to the board.

The board showed corrosion but the NAND was sound. Working at chip level, the controller was bypassed, the raw flash read directly, and the encryption and file system rebuilt to bring the case files back.

// CASE 2026-029recovered
Desktop HDDHitachiClicking

An older Hitachi drive from a Bradford household began clicking with fifteen years of photos on it.

The clicking was a head failure. Under our laminar-flow hood, matched donor heads went in, a careful image was pulled past the damage, and the photo library was rebuilt from the copy rather than the failing drive.

// your data, your country

Your data stays in our hands.

A lot of recovery firms quietly hand your drive to a third-party lab or subcontractor. That never happens here — every recovery is worked from first look to final handover by our own engineers, under one secure chain of custody, and your media is never sold on or passed to an outside company.

// 01

Worked by our own engineers

Every job stays with our own team — never handed to a subcontractor or third-party lab.

// 02

One secure chain of custody

Your drive is tracked from drop-off to return — logged, handled only by our own staff, and never sold on or outsourced.

// 03

ICO-registered & GDPR

Registered with the ICO (No. ZC173784) and fully GDPR-compliant, with an NDA available whenever you need one.

// devices & services

Every device, every way it fails.

A NAS that won’t rebuild. A server with a collapsed array. A clicking hard drive. A ransom note on a shared drive. However it reaches us, the route is the same — imaged first, worked in-house by our own engineers — and it usually goes home again.

// why leeds data recovery

A quarter-century of the recoveries other labs wouldn’t attempt.

There’s no call-centre here and no drive quietly posted elsewhere — just an Leeds data recovery service staffed by our own engineers, twenty-five years at the bench, and the equipment and patience to take on the cases other firms hand back.

01

Pay only on success, most jobs

On the majority of jobs nothing is owed unless we recover — and you see a full file listing to check before you commit a penny.

02

Handled by our own team

Your drive is opened and imaged by our own engineers — never subcontracted to a third party.
