Absolutely over the moon with CDR's express service. Two disks failed on a three disk Raid5, with the third hanging on. 5tb of irreplaceable data recovered in a few days. Both myself and our marketing team can't thank you enough. I really hope we don't need your services again, but we're mightily glad that you're there, if we do.

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.
