Data recovery, Bracknell. A town laid out to a plan in 1949. The data grew up any way it liked.

Bracknell was designated a New Town in June 1949 and built to suit: perimeter roads, roundabouts in place of junctions, and neighbourhoods that each keep a local centre of their own. What reaches us follows that mix — head-office laptops off Doncastle Road, research machines from the labs out at Jealott's Hill, till systems from the units in The Lexicon, and family photographs on a portable disk at home. The A322 runs south, but nothing has to go by car. The diagnosis is free and the price that follows it is in writing.

If you post it in: post it to our intake lab tracked and fully insured, and slip the shipping form in beside the drive; we pay the return leg. How to pack it is covered in detail on the postage page.

Bracknell, from parcel to files.

Where an Apple fix endsReplacing a part is not the same as reading a disk that has stopped. A store restores the machine; retrieving what was on it is separate work with separate equipment, and many Bracknell Macs come here for it.
The unrepeatable jobs get the slow routeThe bench slows down deliberately on a one-of-a-kind disk: a gentle image taken first, each result checked against what you said you needed, and no shortcut that puts the remainder at risk.
A business at a standstillA company locked out of its own bookings, orders or ledgers is losing money by the hour. Those jobs move to the head of the queue and you are given dates we will keep to.
Overnight from RG12 and RG42Hand a tracked parcel in at an RG12 or RG42 counter and it usually reaches the bench the following working day. The diagnosis costs nothing, and the journey home is paid.

Asked most often in Bracknell.

Does it matter that there is no Bracknell branch?

Not really. One properly equipped lab reached by tracked post does more for you than a shop counter in every town, because the equipment cannot be in ten places at once. Every Bracknell case travels that way, and the return carriage is on us.

Apple said no. Is that the end of it?

No, it usually is not. An Apple store diagnoses faults and fits replacement parts; lifting files off a disk that has failed is separate work with separate equipment. Many Bracknell Macs arrive after exactly that answer.

How do I pack a drive I cannot afford to lose?

Pack it as you would anything you could not replace: the original case if you have it, padding against all six faces, a tracked and insured service, and the shipping form inside the box. Say which folders matter and those are checked first.

What does a Bracknell job cost?

Exactly what it costs anywhere else we cover, with nothing held back. The arrival diagnosis is free, one written figure follows that you may accept or decline, and the return postage is ours either way.

Send it in from Bracknell and find out where it stands.

Nothing is decided until the free diagnosis is in: leave the device off, and tell us what happened to it.
