Data Recovery in Cobham
Cobham is one of Surrey's most affluent villages — home to Chelsea FC's training ground and plenty of professionals working from home — and the machines here are often high-value and work-critical. We come to the house or office for data recovery, keep the device in your sight the whole time, and take on drives that won't mount, accidentally deleted files, failed SSDs and clicking hard drives in front of you.
We cover Cobham, Stoke d'Abernon and the surrounding streets with the same discretion we offer in Chelsea itself — a fixed price agreed before we start, and no callout charge.

How a recovery attempt for Cobham actually runs
Data recovery starts with working out which kind of problem you actually have, because the two kinds are not remotely alike. A logical failure — deleted files, a formatted card, a corrupted partition, a drive that mounts but shows nothing — leaves the hardware intact and the data usually still physically present. A physical failure — clicking, grinding, a drive that never spins up, an SSD the Mac no longer sees at all — is a hardware problem, and no amount of software will fix it. Diagnosis is free, and we tell you which one you are dealing with before you commit to anything.
Logical recoveries are often done in front of you. We work from a copy wherever we can rather than the original drive, so nothing we do makes the situation worse, and you can see the files reappearing as they are found. Where the drive is healthy enough, this is frequently finished in a single visit and your files come back onto a drive or a machine you already have.

What Cobham customers call us about
Across Cobham, the data recovery calls we get most often involve drives that won't mount, accidentally deleted files, failed SSDs and clicking hard drives — though we are called out for plenty more besides.
The affluent, home-working mix means a lot of the work is keeping capable, well-cared-for machines running rather than reviving dead ones: battery replacements, SSD and memory upgrades, thermal clean-outs, and clearing the clutter that slows an otherwise-pristine Mac. Screen repairs are steady, and we carry the common parts so most are single-visit jobs. Because the devices are often high-value and work-critical, we're careful and methodical, and we treat backups and data recovery as part of every visit — the machine is replaceable, the work on it isn't.
