// who we are

A recovery lab, not a repair shop.

Easy Data Recovery has been recovering data since 2002 — company number NI625698, ICO registration ZC173784.

The distinction matters more than it sounds. A repair shop aims to return a working machine, and will often get there by fitting a new drive. We do the opposite: the device is frequently beyond saving by the time it reaches us, and the objective is the contents rather than the hardware. A drive fitted with donor heads is not expected to work again.

That difference shapes everything — the read-only imaging, the refusal to run rebuilds, the willingness to say a job is not worth doing. It is also why we will sometimes tell you a local shop or a piece of software would serve you better, and occasionally that nothing will.

// how we work

Four things we do the same way every time.

Not policies so much as the habits that decide whether a recovery succeeds.

01

The original is never written to

Every device is imaged read-only before anything else, and all reconstruction runs against the copy. Nothing we attempt can reduce what is recoverable.

02

The price is fixed before work starts

One figure, in writing, after a free 48-hour diagnostic. It does not move afterwards, and if something unexpected emerges we come back to you rather than proceeding.

03

We say no when the answer is no

Modern ransomware, soldered Macs on a dead board, encrypted volumes without the key, TRIMmed SSD deletions — identified at the diagnostic, at no charge.

04

Verification means opening files

Recovered data is opened in its applications rather than counted, and anything unreadable is reported by name instead of returned as a file that opens to nothing.

// what we will not claim

Three things you should be sceptical of.

Including when other firms say them.

“We can decrypt ransomware.” For current families the encryption is sound and the keys sit with the attacker. Anyone claiming otherwise is describing an old flawed strain or selling a ransom payment with a fee attached.

“We do board-level recovery on any Mac.” On T2 and Apple Silicon machines the flash is soldered and encrypted by the security chip, with the key fused to that board. A chip-off returns ciphertext. “99% success rate.” Success rates depend entirely on what you accept — a firm that declines difficult jobs will have a wonderful figure. We would rather quote honestly on the case in front of us.

// where we are

Oxford, and the counties around it.

Drop-off or insured post, with free return shipping either way.

Devices can be brought to John Eccles House on the Oxford Science Park, Littlemore, or sent by insured post from anywhere in the UK — both start the same free 48-hour diagnostic. Work is carried out in-house by our own engineers rather than subcontracted, and data remains in the UK throughout.

We cover Oxford and Oxfordshire, out through Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and beyond — the full list is on the locations page. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, on 01865 593000.

// ready when you are

Let's get your files back.

Start with an instant online quote, or ring to talk it over first. Either way, a clear, fixed price reaches you before any work begins.
