Data recovery · Hanwell, West London
Lost your data? Recovery from £39 assessment
Laptop, desktop, SSD, HDD, and USB recovery at our Hanwell workshop. Starting prices sit below typical West London specialists. We image first where possible, then recover files — including Windows machines that will not boot.
Starting prices
Clear starting prices — you approve before we proceed
Prices are starting figures in GBP. Final cost depends on diagnosis, parts, and what you approve. No repair starts until you agree the plan.
Logical recovery
£79
Deleted files, format, Windows not booting, RAW partition.
SSD / HDD hardware
£129
Clicking, not detected, controller faults — quoted after assessment.
RAID / NAS
£199
Multi-disk arrays scoped after we see the RAID type.
Faults we see every week
- Hard drive not detected, clicking, or dropping out
- SSD vanished after a Windows update or BIOS flash
- Accidental delete, recycle bin emptied, or quick format
- Laptop will not power on but the drive may still be readable
- USB stick or SD card not recognised
- BitLocker volume — we need the recovery key before we start
Windows and software faults
If Windows will not start, the drive still often holds the files. Do not reinstall until we have imaged the disk where possible.
- Windows Automatic Repair loop / “Preparing Automatic Repair”
- INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE or DRIVER_IRQL blue screens
- CHKDSK / RAW file system after a crash
- Failed Windows 10/11 feature update that bricks the boot volume
- “Operating system not found” after a CMOS/BIOS reset
- Profile corruption, Explorer crash, or login loop with files still on disk
How it works
-
Step 1
Drop off or book
Bring the device or drive to Hanwell. Do not run more installs or recovery tools first.
-
Step 2
We image and report
Assessment from £39. You get a clear plan and price before any recovery labour.
-
Step 3
You approve
We recover to a new drive or USB. No work starts until you say yes.
Questions
- Is the £39 assessment deducted if I go ahead?
- Yes — if you approve a recovery plan the same job, the assessment is credited against labour.
- Can you recover data if Windows will not start?
- Often yes. We treat it as a storage job, not a reinstall, until files are safe.
- Do you guarantee every file?
- No honest lab does. We tell you what is recoverable after assessment. Physical damage can limit results.
