Chris

Superb service from R3 Data Recovery. Having stupidly deleted an external drive of all my files I called and Andy was of invaluable help. He went through different options and advised me on the one that would probably be the best for the issue I had. 24 hours later I have all of my data back where it should be. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Abi

Fabulous service, they saved my bacon when I accidentally overwrote my 8,500 word lit review for uni. Super professional and speedy,they really went the extra mile for me. Worth every penny.

I had an issue with a memory stick and lost 2 years' worth of designs. sent the damage stick to R3 and they recovered everything in less than 2 days. Fast and professional service, and was kept informed throughout the process.

Andrew
Coventry, United Kingdom

R3 Data Recovery literally saved me. All data lost, and my current IT company couldn't help. They put me in contact with R3 Data Recovery, the next day they sent for the drive, and it took around 1 week to recover everything. They then sent it straight back and everything/all files was exactly how I had them before I had lost them. HUGE Relief, and extremely lovely friendly staff that put me at ease. DEFINIETLY recommend!!

Great communication and swift service. Successfully recovered important mobile phone data for me. Thanks!

Grant
Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom

Relieved to have the data back and the iPad apparently working. Early communication could have been more efficient but generally was ok. Greater clarity of file type - I expected something that could feed into Word or into my IPad. I was unaware that I needed another app to access the data.

Ian

Efficient polite service
