USB Data Recovery

Accidentally formatted or deleted something? I run a full recovery scan and get back what's still there.

What I see during a data recovery scan

My recovery software estimates the likelihood of successfully recovering each file.

Why I offer data recovery

As a photographer and videographer, my hard drives and SSDs aren't just storage - they hold client shoots, months of footage and files I can't reshoot. I've had that moment myself: a drive that suddenly wouldn't mount, work I thought was gone for good. That's what pushed me to properly learn data recovery, not just the basics. Now I offer the same service to people across West London going through exactly what I went through.

What I can recover

Photos, videos, music, documents - the stuff that actually matters. If it was on the USB, SSD or SD Card, there's a good chance it's still there.

Photos & videos

Video footage, phone backups, GoPro and SD cards.

Documents & business files

Invoices, contracts, spreadsheets, project files.

Accidentally deleted files

Emptied the bin, deleted the wrong folder.

Formatted drives

Wiped by accident or reformatted.

SSDs that won't mount

Shows up in Disk Utility but won't open - usually a damaged file system, not a dead drive.

USB drives & memory cards

Flash drives, SD cards, camera cards that suddenly stopped working.

Worth knowing before you bring it in

This usually works for

  • Drives your computer detects but won't open or mount
  • Accidentally deleted or emptied-bin files
  • Formatted or reformatted drives
  • Corrupted file systems

This won't fix

  • Physically damaged drives - clicking, grinding, dropped, water damage
  • Drives your computer doesn't detect at all
  • Drives that have had new data written since the loss

If your drive isn't showing up in Disk Utility, it will need a specialist lab with cleanroom equipment.

Pricing

Drop-off and collection.

Recovery attempt

£45

  • Full diagnosis of the drive
  • Complete recovery scan
  • A call or message talking you through what's come back

This covers the diagnosis and recovery attempt. How much comes back depends on the condition of the drive and how the data was lost.
