A failed drive in Antrim doesn't mean a trip across the water or a faceless national lab. We're Belfast Data Recovery — about 18 miles along the M2 — recovering hard drives, SSDs, camera cards, NAS units and servers in-house for over 25 years. Drop it off in Belfast, or post it in fully insured. Free diagnostic, no fix no fee on most jobs.
Around 18 miles and 25 minutes from Antrim to our Belfast office — post it, or drop it off in person.
From the town centre out to Randalstown, Toome, Crumlin and Templepatrick, the service is the same: drop it off in Belfast, or post it in fully insured.
Antrim sits where the Six Mile Water meets Lough Neagh, around 18 miles north-west of Belfast — a town of about 25,000 people with Antrim Castle Gardens, the Junction One retail outlet and a strong manufacturing and aerospace base, helped by its position beside Belfast International Airport. It's a working town where a lot of business and household data lives on local drives and servers.
That makes for a lot of irreplaceable data: manufacturing, aerospace and logistics firms running servers and NAS boxes, retailers and tradespeople, and households with years of photos on a single external drive. When that storage fails, it can feel like a catastrophe.
Usually not. Most drives that look dead still hold every byte — what has failed is the electronics, the heads or the file system, not the data itself. It just needs reading off cleanly on the first attempt, by people who do exactly this every day.
We're Belfast-based, about 18 miles along the M2, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Antrim customers for over 25 years. You have options: drop your device off at our Belfast office if you're heading into the city, or post it in fully insured. Every job starts with a free diagnostic and a fixed quote, and on most jobs it's no fix, no fee.
Four of the recoveries that come in most often from Antrim and nearby.
Antrim is a short run up the M2, so you can drop the drive in — but the post is just as easy if you'd rather not travel.
Call or message us with the device and what happened, and we will give you a likely price straight away.
Bring your device — or just the drive for laptops, NAS and servers — to our Belfast office Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm, or post it fully insured.
We diagnose it, normally inside 48 hours, and send a fixed written quote before anything starts.
We recover your data, check it against a file listing, and you either collect it or we post it back on fresh media.
Dropping in skips the postage step altogether, and urgent jobs can usually be fast-tracked — just say so when you call.

A few words from people we have helped in and around Antrim.
We do not publish invented reviews. We are gathering verified, named feedback from our Antrim customers and will post it here as it arrives. In the meantime you are welcome to call and talk your issue through with an engineer on 028 9002 0144.
Post or drop in your device for a free diagnostic, with a note on what happened — an engineer reviews it and confirms your exact quote in writing before any work begins.
First step: get the device onto our Belfast bench. Wrap it well, tuck your contact details in the box, and post it over — the diagnostic costs nothing, and you’ll have a firm written price to approve before we touch a single sector.
Posting it? A tracked, insured service is best. Dropping it off instead? You’re welcome Monday–Friday, 9am–5:30pm — please still pack the device as above.
Not ready to send anything yet? Use the form to describe the fault in your own words and one of the engineers will come back with a quote tailored to your situation.
We will get back to you soon. If it is urgent, call 028 9002 0144.

Whichever suits you. Antrim is a short run up the M2, so many customers drop the drive in — bring just the drive for laptops, NAS and servers, labelled. If you'd rather not travel, post it fully insured and tracked. Either way you get a free diagnostic and a fixed quote first.
