When a drive fails in Chipping Norton, you do not need to send it all the way to London or pass it over to another large corporate body. Oxford Data Recovery is located approximately 25 miles from Chipping Norton via the A44 and has been recovering data from servers, NAS units, camera memory cards, SSDs and hard drives at its own UK based laboratory since 2002. If you wish to visit when passing through or simply want to send it by post then both options will be treated with a complimentary diagnostic. In addition, in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
It takes roughly 50 minutes by car and approximately 25 miles to get to our bench from Chipping Norton; either take it down there yourself, or send it via the post.
Chipping Norton is an approximately 7,300 population Cotswold market town with a large number of rural businesses and hospitality/tourism enterprises which are generating a surprisingly high volume of irreplaceable data using quite ordinary equipment. These organisations have generated a significant amount of valuable data over many years: accounts, customer files, records and much more.
When a drive fails, most of the time it will have all the information (bytes); the trouble almost always lies with the heads, the controller board or the file system, and the data may need to be carefully extracted by someone that does this type of work daily. The Oxford Science Park is about 25 miles away, so travelling here is easy. Alternatively, you can simply post your device to us via insured postal service and we’ll take care of the rest, including the return trip.
Data recovery service since 2002. We will provide a complimentary (no-charge) written diagnostic prior to commencing work. We agree upon an upfront fixed cost with you before starting. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Probably not. Most drives labelled as “dead” have intact data. What typically occurs are failures either on the heads, circuit board, or file system. Once a qualified person reads this data cleanly from the device (first attempt), it can be recovered.
We are located in Oxford (about 25 miles from you), and we have provided data recovery services to people in Chipping Norton since 2002. Because we are nearby, you can choose whether to stop at the Oxford location while on your way, or send your drive via insured postal service. In either case, each data recovery project begins with a complimentary diagnostic and a fixed price quotation. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The postcodes we see most often from here, along with all the surrounding villages and estates, which we cover just the same.
In addition to coming directly from Chipping Norton itself (OX7), drives are also being sent to us from all over the rest of the local area, including Over Norton, Churchill, Kingham, Enstone, Milton-under-Wychwood and Charlbury. It makes no difference whether you’re based at the heart of Chipping Norton or further out in the villages; your drive can be brought to our Oxford unit or travel via tracked post. It does not matter how you send us your drive as regards the cost-free diagnostic, and the price and terms that apply will remain identical to those which would have been applicable had your drive arrived with us direct: in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

Chipping Norton is near enough for many, but if the journey is too long for you to simply carry the drive in to us in Oxford, then sending the item by post is equally easy.
You can ring or text us about your problem with the device and we will provide an approximate cost right then and there, before you drop off or post anything.
Then you can choose to come by our Oxford unit during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm) and bring us the device (for laptops, NAS and servers, just the drive), or you can post it to us, insured.
We will inspect the damaged hard drive (usually within 48 hours), and send you a fixed written quote of what it would cost to recover your files prior to doing anything.
We will then perform the data recovery, compare the recovered files to a list of your files, and allow you to retrieve them from us directly or have us return them on fresh media.
You can bring it straight to us if you want to avoid using the postal service, and urgent cases can usually go direct to the front of the queue. If your case is urgent, tell us that when you call.

We will perform a free diagnosis of your device upon receipt, and ask some questions as to what may have occurred, after which one of our engineers will then provide you with an exact written quotation prior to performing any work.
Before dropping off or posting your device please request a quotation either by telephone or using our quotation form. The first step to recover your data is to get the device to us. Please ensure that you pack the device securely, include your contact information and then forward it to us. Once we have completed the free diagnostic of your device we will provide you with your exact price in writing prior to commencing any further work.
Posting it? We would suggest using a tracked and insured delivery method. Want to drop it off? That’s okay too. Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5:30pm is good; no appointment necessary: simply prepare the item as described above.
If you want a few more details first, fill out this form and let an engineer go through it and send you back a custom quote.
