Great communication and swift service. Successfully recovered important mobile phone data for me. Thanks!
Amazing service. Don’t waste money and make matters worse by purchasing online options or software. These guys will sort it, if it’s at all possible. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
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.
The R3 Data Recovery team are outstanding in every way, going above and beyond in all areas. Communication was great, making time outside of working hours to explain the situation and their plans. They worked tirelessly to get a positive outcome and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs their help.
These guys recovered 100% of my data…!! They kept me informed all the way and were very professional. A little bit expensive, but worth every penny. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily use again.
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!
After being told my hard drive was damaged beyond repair, I was recommended to use R3 data recovery. Nothing was too much trouble, always at the end of the phone and gave an amazing professional service. Highly recommend and a massive thank you to Andy Butler who went above and beyond at all times:)
best service ive ever had from any company- thank you so much for you help this year
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. What absolutely legends they are. Not only did they recover all of my data from an completely dead hard drive which literally saved my business, but they also had all of the work (5TB) back to me within 6 days, literally driven to my door. They worked tirelessly day and night not leaving my drive and Andy was on hand no matter what the time to answer any of my questions, and calm me down when in tears and panicking. Much more than data recovery but in short, these are the people you need to go to if you have any hard drive issues - do not go to the manufacturers, you may end up with a new drive but no data!
Communication was informative and timely throughout, my expectations were clearly set on the process that would be undertaken, the issues impacting potential success, the likelihood of recovering my files in the various options and throughout the actual process. The actual recovery process was much faster than expected and at every stage I was consulted to ensure that the approach met my needs. It's everything you could have wanted from this kind of service.
Very fast and efficient. All data recovered and great at keeping in touch throughout the recovery.
Couldnt have asked for more support
