Good service. Everything was fully explained throughout the process and any queries I had were promptly answered.
Great communication and swift service. Successfully recovered important mobile phone data for me. Thanks!
The service was amazing. They collected my hard drive.. responded within a few hours for any queries. Very knowledgeable and guided me with the process and sent back the drive with data as soon as they had retrieved it. My hard drive had photos of my children from when they were born and was extremely sentimental. I would recommend R3 to anyone in my situation. Taking this opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks to R3 and the team members.
These guys were really professional and straight forward. Highly recommend their service if you have old hard drives that you think have died and need resurrecting
Quick and easy process. very professional and all data was succesfully recovered from my device.
I accidentally overwrote my Masters portfolio literature review. I rang R3 data retrieval in the morning and Andy was amazing and managed to retrieve it for me within the day. Best money I ever spent, excellent service and customer care. 10/10 would recommend.
Could not have been more helpful. From the initial phone conversation with Andy, to the regular updates from Will, a thoroughly professional service, to say nothing of a successful outcome.
Fantastic people to deal with Totally honesty Kept me informed throughout the process, would have no hesitation in recommending them Martin C
Knowledgable and friendly. Recovered 4000 pics from a dead Huwaei with swollen batteries and internal fault for me. Excellent professional service and communications.
Excellent company to deal with. Highly professional and patient and no pressure to get the files. The only company to do it. All other ones are scams.
5* customer service. I cannot thank R3 Data Recovery enough. The team recovered all my photos and videos from a WD NAS drive. Would highly recommend, you definitely get what you pay for, Many thanks.
Absolutely brilliant and bona fide company that does what is says in its company title. How important is your lost data to you??? Well if it means as much as it does to me and you are stupid enough to not have those back ups in place, then do not complain about the costs to recover them. Relatively speaking, was quite cheap considering there was 25 years worth of data recovered. I used my credit card on this failure on my part, but don't regret a single pound spent. Will and his team recovered the data from an old Linux system drive and put it onto a brand new one terabyte external hard drive for me ready to run under Windows. To all persons who need a reputable company and are trawling through various Google searches, this is the real deal and actually do their recovery on site. Hopefully you will never need to be in this situation, but if you do give them a call. Great interaction and regular updates throughout the process. Many thanks to all at R3 Data Recovery. John C.
