Called to see if I could get my accidentally deleted photos recovered, the phone was answered quickly and everything was explained clearly to myself. They explained that my data couldn't be recovered due to the type of disk that my laptop has. They said that they're up front about it because they don't want to charge me for something that they couldn't do anything about like other companies do. Very professional.read more

John at Cheadle Data Recovery is nothing short of a godsend. We had a Cfast 2 card corrupt on us at a video shoot and John was able to see us first thing the following morning. He explained the process very clearly and managed to retrieve the data in the time frame stipulated in the contract. The best thing about his service is there's no charge whatsoever if they don't manage to recover your data. I think it's incredible to be able to offer this and puts CDR head and shoulders above their competitors. Highly recommended!!read more

I recently suffered a (Seagate 2TB) hard drive failure where the disk went from performing apparently well to being unrecognised by Windows 10 in the space of a couple hours (without any apparent trauma) - a much shorter timescale than I had expected. The failed drive even prevented Windows from restarting even though it was not a system disk. Fortunately, I was able to open the computer case and disconnect the drive, which allowed Windows to boot normally. I then searched the Internet for pearls of wisdom - which are few and far between - and concluded that professional data recovery was the only viable option.Of the several data recovery companies in the UK, CDR seemed to have reviews that were believable and offered 'no recovery, no fee'. On further enquiry, the range of fees seemed quite reasonable compared to some of the larger companies (with bigger overheads?). Initially, I had some (unfounded, as it turned out!) concerns about dealing with a small company. Rather than risk further damage to the disk (or total loss) in the post, I chose to deliver the disk to CDR in person. John was able to power it up and confirm that it was not totally beyond hope, so I left it with him for a full diagnosis.Further testing revealed that one read head was completely inoperative and the others were not working very well, although there was no sign of a 'head crash' and consequent physical damage to the disk. So, John replaced the heads and was then able to recover all but two (unimportant, as it happens) files out of about 100,000. The recovered data was couriered back to me on a new USB external drive at reasonable cost. I have been extremely lucky in having a very successful recovery since there was no irrepairable physical damage. However, it seems to be the case that, in general, a failing disk should be powered up as little as possible and treated to professional help sooner rather than later!I have no hesitation is recommending CDR as a data recovery company.read more
