How Much Does Data Recovery Cost in Hertfordshire?

Data recovery costs depend on the type of failure and the storage device involved. Unlike many data recovery companies that quote £1,000+ as a starting point, our pricing starts from £100 for straightforward recoveries. Complex cases involving physical drive damage will cost more, and we’ll always tell you the exact figure before any work begins.

Here’s how our pricing works:

Free diagnostic – we assess the device and identify what’s failed at no charge
Flat-fee quote – you receive a single fixed price, not a sliding scale estimate
No recovery, no fee – if we can’t retrieve your files, you pay nothing

There are no hidden costs and no obligation to proceed after the diagnostic.

Frequently Asked Questions - Data Recovery

Can you recover data from a hard drive that makes a clicking noise?

A clicking hard drive is a sign of mechanical failure and needs specialist attention as soon as possible. The longer a failing drive is used, the lower the chance of a successful recovery. Bring it to us immediately for a free assessment — do not attempt to run recovery software on it yourself.

Can you recover data from a laptop that won't turn on?

Yes, in most cases. Even if your laptop won’t boot, the data on the drive is often intact. We can remove the drive and attempt recovery directly, without needing the machine itself to work.

How long does data recovery take?

Most recoveries are completed within 24–72 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe at the diagnostic stage.

What is your success rate for data recovery?

Success depends on the type and severity of the failure. Logical failures (accidental deletion, corruption) have a very high recovery rate. Physical failures are more complex but we have successfully recovered data from drives that other services couldn’t. We’ll always give you an honest assessment at the diagnostic.

Do you offer data recovery for businesses?

Yes. We work with both home users and small businesses across Hertfordshire. If you need emergency business data recovery, call us directly on 01920 487534 for priority service.

What areas do you cover for data recovery?

Our workshop is based in Ware, Hertfordshire. We offer collection and delivery across the county including Hertford, Hoddesdon, Potters Bar, Hatfield, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City.

WHICH TRUSTED TRADER REVIEWS

Trusted reviews from our customers brought to you by Which? Trusted Traders

Really pleased with Mark’s work. I originally took my laptop to PC World as that’s where I bought it from. It’s out of warranty but still fairly new. They entered the model number into their system and apparently can’t source any parts so refused to even look at it.

I cannot recommend this company enough: trustworthy, honest, professional, fair and supportive are just some of the words I would use to describe them. This is not the first time I have used this company having previously had money taken and faults not fixed before. Mark and the team are simply exceptional and most importantly, get the job done! Thank you once again. It is really appreciated.

Always easy to contact and arrange for care for my computer. My computer had started to work very slowly, a new hard drive was inserted and it now works like new. Excellent care and advice. Previously received computer care in lockdown and service again was excellent and maintained all appropriate social distancing regulations etc.

I contacted Mark as the hard drive on my laptop had failed. It was collected on the same day and was returned within two days with a new drive fitted and all of my files recovered. A great service and a good price. Would certainly use again and highly recommend.

I had a problem with my laptop not charging. Laptop was collected, the problem was diagnosed and explained. Repair completed and the laptop returned the next day. Excellent customer service. Thank you.

Once again superb service from Mark and the team. My computer fan was making a lot of noise so I contacted Mark. He very quickly came to my house and took the computer away. He contacted me the next day to say that the fan should be replaced and I agreed to this. We also agreed that he would conduct a health check and clean the inside. Two days later Mark returned to my house, installed the computer and tested it. All was perfect once again.

Really pleased with Mark's work. I originally took my laptop to PC World as that's where I bought it from. It's out of warranty but still fairly new. They entered the model number into their system and apparantly can't source any parts so refused to even look at it. Mark agreed to have a look and it, came to my home to collect and later the same day called me with the part problem (turns out it was just the charger) and a very reasonable price.

I have used this company on a number of occasions over time with home laptops and PCs that had developed various faults due to different hardware issues. On each occasion, they picked up the machine from my property, were able to identify the issue in good time, phoned to communicate findings and discuss potential next steps, and then delivered the repaired machine back to me.

If you are unsure of a company to turn to when you need help and guidance, choose Computer Repairs Herts. Having previously paid and failed to repair my laptop with another company, Mark was exceptional in getting the job done. I would recommend him and the team without question. Honest, trustworthy, committed, incredible service - my experience with Computer Repair Herts means I would go straight to them in the future if I needed another repair.

If I could give 6 stars I would. The service fixing my MacBook couldn't have been better, Mark collected my computer and returned it within 24 hours. Mark did pre-warn me that in fixing my keyboard he may also need to replace the battery at an extra cost of £125.00 (something I wouldn't have known either way), yet was able to save mine and keep my costs down. If anything shows the honesty and professionalism of this company.
