// transparent pricing

Three simple price bands.

We price by the type of device, not by how much data has gone astray. Every job opens with a free diagnostic and a written quote — and no fix, no fee on most jobs.

Memory cards & USB
£250 + VAT
SD, microSD and CompactFlash cards, plus USB sticks.
  • Deleted, formatted or corrupt
  • Card errors and not reading
  • Photos, video & files
Hard drives and single drives
£300 + VAT
Internal and external hard drives, SSDs, and laptop or PC drives.
  • Clicking, dropped, or won't power on
  • Not detected, or water damage
  • Deleted, formatted & corrupt
RAID & multi-disk
from £500 + VAT
RAID arrays, NAS units and servers — a starting price, then tailored.
  • Failed or rebuilt arrays
  • NAS & controller failure
  • Multiple disk failure

Every price is quoted before VAT. Multi-disk RAID arrays and RAID rebuilds can run higher — always confirmed in writing once the free diagnostic is done, ahead of any work.

// frequently asked questions

About the diagnostic, answered.

Yes — the tool is entirely free, with no sign-up and no payment details. It runs wholly in your browser, so we only hear from you if you decide to get in touch. The in-house diagnostic on the device itself is free too.

It gives a reliable ballpark from your device type, which covers the great majority of recoveries. A handful of cases — a physically damaged memory card that needs chip-level work, say, or an intricate RAID rebuild — can run higher. We always confirm your exact price in writing once the free diagnostic is done, before any work starts.

On most jobs, if we can't recover your data there's no recovery fee to pay. Exactly what applies to your case is spelt out in your written quote, so nothing catches you out.

Box up your media, then either drop it in to our Belfast premises, open Monday to Friday 9am to 5:30pm, or send it fully insured by post. Print the shipping form above, complete your details, and slip it into the parcel with your name, address, phone number and email so we can log it in on arrival.

Switch it off at once and leave it off. Clicking or grinding nearly always means a physical head or motor fault, and each minute it stays on risks more damage. Use the diagnostic above for guidance specific to your case, or call 028 9002 0144 right away.

Yes. Every job is done in-house, and we treat all recoveries as confidential. We'll gladly sign an NDA for sensitive or commercial work on request.
