Upon my first contact with the team at R3, they were helpful, informative and professional. I couldn't have asked for a more efficient and secure service. Any question I asked was responded to promptly and with due care and attention. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their service and thank them immensely for the recovery they provided for me. My documents were/are so incredibly important to me and R3 Data Recovery managed to get the vast majority back for me. The email they sent outlining all they had recovered allowed me to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Thank you so much!

Mark

Excellent service and everyone was very helpful and friendly. Cost was comparable to other companies and I considered it good value for money.

Elaine Bird

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

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.

Rebecca

Excellent service both in recovering data and after sales service. Frankly the price for the service is irrelevant when faced with loss of essential data. Delivery was prompt and efficient.

Anthony Pike

Superb - saved my life. So organised, communicative, efficient, diligent. Within 24 hours of collecting my fire damaged hard disk, they had retrieved all my data. Sincerely, thank you!

Excellent communication during the whole process. Was even able to have my device collected from my house and taken to the lab on the same day so the engineers could get started. All files recovered within 24 hours, couldn't be more grateful.
