Severn side · Worcester
Data recovery, Worcester. New Road flooded seven times one winter; the drive only needs once.
Worcester lives with the Severn along its western edge, and the calendar shows it: New Road under water seven times in the winter of 2023–24, the city centre flooded that January. Water-damaged media is a routine job here, not a hypothetical. The rest arrives from the drier side of the city — CNC libraries off Badgeworth Drive, quality records at Warndon, warehouse systems on a local array at Worcester Six, and family photographs that exist nowhere else. Post it tracked; the first look is free.

What Worcester puts in the post.
No match here? Run the triage →| What you see | Why we see it here | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A desktop lifted out of the standing water at a Diglis unit | Riverside premises flood here on a schedule the city knows by heart | Do not dry it, do not power it, post it wet |
| A CNC programme library on a shop-floor server | Machine tools and boiler lines run on files nobody else holds | Image it first, work on the copy |
| A NAS at Worcester Six that stopped mounting | Warehouse and ERP databases sit on a local array with no copy off site | Power it down; the whole box can travel to us |
| A camera card that reads as unformatted | Cards get pulled mid-write more often than anyone admits | Stop shooting on it; send the card as it is |
| An SSD in a laptop that vanished from BIOS | NVMe drives tend to fail without warning and without any noise at all | Do not run recovery tools on it |

The seven reviews in full →Thank you for recovering the data off our crashed and dead hard drive. You saved 2 years worth of work for our small graphic design company.
Marty Humphries · West BromwichWorcester's most common questions.
Do you have a Worcester branch?
No. A company listing a shopfront in every county town is generally listing addresses, not laboratories. Your drive goes to the lab as an insured, tracked parcel, is looked at free on the morning it lands, and comes home with the return postage paid. Being further away alters the courier's route and nothing more.
How long does a parcel take from Worcester?
A tracked service is usually next working day. The box gets opened and assessed on the morning it reaches us, which is why plenty of people in Worcester have a written quote two days after handing it over.
Do local businesses use you directly?
Often. Manufacturers at Warndon and on Badgeworth Drive, tenants at Worcester Six running warehouse systems on a local array, and practices and small firms across Barbourne, Diglis and Ronkswood. If the kit holds more than one disk, or trading has stopped, ring before anything is unplugged.
Is posting a dead drive risky?
Not when it is packed properly, and drives come in from Droitwich, Malvern and Pershore as well as the city. Reuse the drive's own box if one survives; otherwise pad each face until nothing shifts inside. Tracked and insured, with the shipping form alongside. Full detail on the contact page.

There is no need to drive it anywhere. Post it, tracked.
Keep it powered down and tell us how it happened. Nothing is agreed until the free diagnosis lands.
