Data Recovery Highworth

On its hilltop above the Vale, Highworth works from home more than most towns its size — and its drives, cards and laptops reach our bench by next-day tracked post.

Free diagnostic for every Highworth customer. Fixed quote before any work — no fix, no fee.

// data recovery for highworth

Highworth packs a lot of working life into a small hilltop footprint: SN6's consultants and tradespeople running businesses from spare rooms, retirees curating decades of photographs, and families whose single external drive quietly became the only copy of everything. When that drive clicks, or the laptop dies, or a card from a walking holiday won't read, the nearest specialist help is a post office counter — which is precisely how the service was designed.

Parcels from Highworth reach our Oxford location the next working day: Oxford Data Recovery, John Eccles House, Oxford Science Park, Robert Robinson Avenue, Littlemore, Oxford OX4 4GP — under an hour away up the A420 for anyone who'd rather hand a device in at reception, Monday to Friday 9am–5:30pm. The free diagnostic wraps up inside 2 working days of arrival, and the call that follows gives you the fault, the prospects and one fixed price.

The rules don't bend: logical work is strictly no fix, no fee; a drive that needs the clean room after damage costs half its quote upfront; the forensic band is settled in full before the bench starts. We can't take phones or tablets, and nothing soldered to a motherboard. Recovered data travels home on a new encrypted drive, tracked the whole way, and 0800 689 0668 answers first questions free.

// getting your device to us

Post or courier your device from Highworth — it's simple

Most customers post or courier their media to us.

Sending a drive from a computer, laptop, MacBook, iMac, CCTV / DVR or server? Please remove the internal hard drive or SSD and send us just the drive — we don't provide an internal drive-removal service. We don't recover storage soldered to a motherboard (e.g. Apple Silicon Macs and some thin laptops) — only drives that can be removed and sent to us.

  • Wrap the device in bubble wrap or a padded envelope — no need to include cables or power supplies.
  • Print and enclose the booking-in & shipping form (PDF) with your name, phone number and a brief description of what happened.
  • Send by Royal Mail Special Delivery or any tracked courier for full insurance in transit.
  • Prefer to hand it over in person? You can drop it in at reception at the address shown, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:30pm.

Common questions

This one — measured in hours rather than miles. A tracked parcel posted in Highworth is with the engineers the next working day and diagnosed free inside 2 working days, which beats driving a failing drive around looking for a shop that doesn't exist locally.
Switch it off and leave it off: clicking is mechanical failure, and running it grinds the platters holding the photos. Send it exactly as it is, well padded. Head-swap recoveries are routine clean-room work, quoted fixed with 50% upfront.
Nearly always — the drive inside a lifeless laptop is usually in perfect health. Remove it if you're comfortable (we'll guide you by phone) or ask a local repair shop to take it out, then post the drive alone. The diagnostic confirms what's there inside 2 working days.
All of SN6 — Shrivenham, Watchfield, Stanton Fitzwarren, Hannington and the surrounding villages — on the same postal terms. Same parcel, same free diagnostic, same fixed quote — wherever it's posted.
