Just because your data storage device has failed in Portadown does not necessarily mean that you need to travel across the Irish Sea or submit your device to a large, impersonal laboratory based somewhere else in the UK. For over two decades Belfast Data Recovery has been providing professional data recovery services in-house for hard drives, SSDs, camera cards, NAS units and servers from our office located approximately 30 miles from Portadown in Belfast, along the M1. Depending on your preference you may either deliver your device to us personally or send it by post in a fully-insured package. A free diagnostic inspection will be performed upon receipt and in most cases you will only incur costs associated with the data recovery process when and if successful.
From Portadown our Belfast office is roughly 30 miles away, taking around 45 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Post it in fully insured, or drop it off in person.
Regardless of whether you are sending your device to us in the post (fully insured and trackable), or dropping it off yourself at our office in Belfast, the process for recovering your data is identical for all locations including the town centre, going out to Richhill, Loughgall and Tandragee.
The town of Portadown is located on the River Bann, right in the middle of the Craigavon area. It has approximately 22,000 residents. For many generations, Portadown was well known as a market and railway town. Today it remains a thriving retail centre with a large shopping mall called "The Meadows" and also houses a large number of manufacturers, food producers and logistics companies which provide employment opportunities to both families and businesses in the region. As such there is a significant amount of business and personal data stored locally on drives, servers and network attached storage (NAS) units.
Much of this data cannot be replaced. Manufacturing and food production companies operate their own servers and NAS units. Haulage companies and small business owners store financial records and other critical documents on these systems. Retailers use them to manage inventory levels. Households use a single external hard drive to store years worth of family photographs. So when one of these devices fails it may seem catastrophic.
Not usually. For most dead-looking drives that appear to contain no readable data, all bytes of original data remain intact; it is simply the electronic components, heads or file systems that have failed to read/write properly. All that is required is proper, successful access to that data, which can typically happen on the first try by someone who does this each day.
Our company is based in Belfast, approximately 30 miles north of Portadown via the M1 motorway. Over two decades ago, we started providing recovery services for the types of devices used by customers in Portadown. Your options include posting your device to us fully insured and traceable, or bringing it into our office in Belfast for delivery. All jobs begin with a complimentary diagnosis and a fixed, written quote. In addition, in most cases, unless we successfully recover your data, you do not owe us anything.
These four types of recoveries occur frequently in Portadown and its surrounding areas.
Since Portadown is a quick trip up the M1, you may drop the drive in to us; however, the post is available if you would prefer to avoid travelling.
Just give us a phone call or message about the device and the problem that has occurred, and we'll tell you approximately how much it's going to cost right then and there, before you even bring it down to see us or ship it to us.
Drop your device (or just the drive for laptops, NAS and servers) into our Belfast location Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm (walk-ins welcome) or post your item to us fully insured at your convenience.
We will assess your device, most of the time within 48 hours, and issue a fixed written quote prior to performing any work.
Once your data is recovered, we compare it against a list of files; you may choose to pick up your data yourself or have it posted to you on brand new media.
Dropping off saves you the shipping hassle, as well; if you're in an emergency situation and need this job done quickly, please let us know when you contact us.

Prior to sending or dropping off your device for a diagnostic test (free), obtain a quotation from us via telephone or using the provided form. Step one: get the device to our Belfast bench. Carefully wrap the device and include your contact information inside the parcel. Then send it over. There is no charge for this diagnostic service. Once we receive it, you will be given a firm written price to confirm whether you wish to go ahead, before any work is done.
Sending it? The use of a tracked, insured delivery method would be recommended. Alternatively, dropping it off can also be done Monday to Friday, 9am–5:30pm; no prior booking required but do ensure that all items are packed accordingly.
Still waiting to send something? Please complete the form describing the failure/fault in your own words and one of our engineers will get back to you with a quotation based upon your individual circumstances.
We will get back to you soon. If it is urgent, call 028 9002 0144.
Based in Belfast, we're approximately 30 miles down the M1 (about 45 minutes north of Portadown). For twenty-plus years we've been recovering files and data for both Portadown and the Craigavon area. You can either send your device to us fully insured via post, or visit our Belfast office from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm.
Whatever method suits you best. Many customers have the ability to take the drive into Belfast easily enough using the M1, therefore they simply drop it in. Bring only the drive for laptops/NAS/servers, labelled. Alternatively, if you don't want to travel at all, you can simply post it to us fully insured/tracked. Either way, you'll receive a complimentary diagnostic report as well as a fixed price quote before proceeding with recovery.
Anything that holds data: hard drives, SSDs, USB memory sticks (pen drives), camera cards, Macs, laptops, external hard drives, RAID arrays, NAS boxes, servers and databases. It does not matter whether the media has been formatted or whether it was damaged due to a simple accident, a failed array or a ransomware hit: every item that contains data is worthy of a free diagnostic.
Portadown (including Edenderry, Killicomaine, Richhill, Loughgall, Tandragee, Bleary & Annaghmore) all fall under our service and pricing structure regardless of your location.
Most recoveries take 3 to 4 working days with the free diagnostic completed in most cases within 48 hours. A rough guide as follows; USB sticks/memory cards from £250 + VAT, hard drives/SSDs from £300 + VAT, RAID/NAS/servers from £500 + VAT, always with a fixed written quote first. And in most cases you only have to pay if we recover your data.
A free, written diagnostic report, plus in most cases, you won't owe us until we successfully recover your lost data, and over two decades of doing this job a short drive down the M1. Send it to us by post using a fully-insured carrier with tracking, or drop it off in Belfast.
