Stupidly, it was my fault that my HDD failed which then left me trying to find somewhere to get it fixed. From the initial phone call with John through to the end where he managed to recover 99.9% of the files on my HDD. The service was professional and stream lined with good communication throughout and all costs were given to me beforehand so no surprises at the end. So glad I found and chose to use Cheadle Recovery Ltd and recommend his service 100% !
Response from the owner:Hello Tom, thank you for the review, I am glad it was possible to recover the data from your failed Toshiba 1TB hard disk drive. Best regards, John C. Reid.

Amazing service! John really saved the day by recovering a huge archive of photos spanning many years. The whole process was straightforward from start to finish, and his knowledge and expertise were outstanding. He took the time to talk us through every step, making everything easy to understand and stress-free. We can't thank him enough for helping us recover so many precious memories. Highly recommended!
Response from the owner:Hello Victoria, thank you for the review. I am glad you found the process smooth and clear, and that there was a successful recovery of the data you required. Best regards, John C. Reid.

Excellent service and total transparency from beginning to end. The prices are competitive and the "no recovery, no fee" is just the icing on the cake. However, the most important thing is the quality of service and utter professionalism - no fuss, just results. I'd value absolutely no reservations about recommending Cheadle Data Recovery and, should I need such services in the future, they will be my first port of call. Delighted.
Response from the owner:Hello Wayne, thanks for the review. I am glad it was possible to achieve a positive result for your failed RAID array and your HDD. Best regards, John C. Reid.

John was brilliant. My niece had seven years worth of lesson plans on a broken data stick and nowhere had been able to retrieve it for her until I found Cheadle Data Recovery. John was professional and transparent in regards to recovery and fees which I really appreciated. Payment only required if data is recovered. And it was! My niece was over the moon! Highly recommended this company.
Response from the owner:Hello Debbie, thank you for the review. The 32GB SanDisk memory stick had a hardware failure associated with the controller chip. Via chip off recovery it was possible to make a full recovery of the data. Best regards, John C. Reid.
