Data Recovery

Sometimes it’s not always possible for us to recover your data, the hard drive may have become damaged or just failed with age. We always encourage our customers to back up their data, but if you don’t have a backup, and we can’t access the data, all is not lost!

We have partnered one of the UK’s leading data recovery specialists and between us, we can offer fixed price data recovery services, handling it all for you.

Important notes:

Sending a device to us for data recovery is agreeing the standard charge (£160) plus external hard drive cost. If we can recover the data under this service then we will continue to do so. If more advanced work is required, we will advise which of the advanced levels is required. If you do not wish to proceed with the advanced recovery, we can return your device to you for £25.00.

We require a deposit of £100 to proceed with a repair, this is refundable (less the carriage) if not successful or if the repair is declined. Once the data is confirmed the balance is required prior to recovery.

By agreeing to our terms of business you are agreeing that performing a data recovery is not 100% guaranteed and The PC Crew are in no way responsible for the loss of data.
