How our pricing works
We believe you should know what data recovery costs before you hand over your drive. Whether you’ve had a drive failure, accidental deletion or a RAID crash, our engineers give you a professional assessment and a fixed quote before any recovery work begins.
Every job starts with a free initial inspection to find out the extent of the problem. If the drive needs internal diagnostics or clean room disassembly, a one-time non-refundable assessment fee of £99 + VAT applies. This lets our engineers safely evaluate your media with specialist tools such as PC-3000 in our ISO 5 (Class 100) clean room.
