Cheadle Data Recovery Ltd - Stockport

I would strongly recommend Cheadle Data recovery to do what it says on the tin! We live in Italy and my local IT technician was completely defeated when he replaced a hard drive and half our data was lost. On a return visit to Manchester I found this company, left the offending item with Dr Reid, who obviously knows all there is to know about the subject, and the information I had lost was returned to me, according to the stated terms, almost immediately. Thank you for providing an excellent service..

I had an issue with the port on my external hard drive so made an enquiry as to how much it would cost to get the data recovered. I received a call very promptly saying that it looked like it was a problem that I could solve myself instead of taking it in and gave detailed instructions on what to do and said that I could bring it in if I couldn't fix it myself.

I followed John's instructions and was able to solve the problem without spending a penny. I really appreciated John's advice and I don't think there are many businesses who would offer this if it was in my best interest not to bring it in. Would highly recommend.

I thought I'd lost the majority of my last 12 month's photography, comprising tens of thousands of images, when three of my hard drives (two SSDs and a traditional drive) inexplicably became corrupted at the same time. To compound that I also had two Micro SD cards full of drone photographs which wouldn't open. I looked around on the Internet for data recovery services in the Cheshire area and was attracted to Cheadle Data Recovery's website. I 'phoned John who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable which gave me the confidence to use CDR. He also explained all the costs up-front and his 'no-recovery/no-fee' policy. He managed to recover all the lost data at the agreed price which was a massive relief to me. I wouldn't hesitate in using CDR again and cannot recommend them highly enough.

We used Cheadle Data Recovery to recover data from a NAS box which unfortunately had 2 drives fail in a RAID5 at the same time! John was incredibly knowledgeable, explained the process and quickly turned round the work for us. An extra bonus, everything from the NAS was fully recovered and we are now back up and running.

I had just got back from a Japan trip and had been storing my trip photos and videos on a HDD that already had lots of data stored on it. When I got home and looked to backup I found I could no longer access my drive. I had looked up and found various data recovery specialists and found many to have hidden fees even taking my HDD to another “specialist” before finding Cheadle Data Recovery. John was very clear and upfront with costs. He explained the damage done to my HDD and the work that had to be done. He retrieved all the data and I can’t thank him enough! Note to self have at least two backups.

John was incredibly helpful, reassuring and efficient in recovering footage from a formatted SD card. I cannot recommend him enough. Superb.

Really impressed by the standard of service provided. John talked me through the process and I was kept informed all along the way. Was able to get back some very precious data and made some family members very happy. Really recommend!

I could not recommend highly enough!!! I had a Lacie hard drive failure after only 1 year of use and I wasn't proactive in backing up my work. I brought my hard drive to a different company first who charged me tons of money for parts and didn't end up recovering any of my data. When I brought my hard drive to John, we discovered that my hard drive was completely mishandled by the previous company with numerous parts missing among other issues (see pictures of just how bad it was!). Thankfully John was able to work with the hard drive despite the issues and missing parts and recovered the vast majority of my data, saving me from losing countless hours of work and precious memories. Communication with John was excellent from the start with detailed messages and pictures. Very friendly and professional service as well and you can tell he's passionate about his work. In an industry with next to no regulation, it's incredibly hard to know who to trust and who's a scammer. I can tell you now that your hard drive is in very safe hands with John and I coudn't be more grateful for the hard work he put into saving my data. Thank you John!
