Whether your files are trapped on a broken device
or you’re locked out of your own, we can help.

How mobile repairs work ↗
DATA RECOVERY

Data recovery for every device.
Every kind of disaster.

Dropped, drowned, dead or deleted.
If the data is still there, we’ll do our best to reach it.

OUR MOST REQUESTED RECOVERY

Phones & tablets

Android phones, iPhones and iPads with smashed screens, liquid damage, charging faults or boot loops. Often we can repair the fault just enough to get your device working and copy your photos, videos, WhatsApp chats and contacts safely off it.

Phone repairs ↗

Laptops & desktops

Windows PCs and MacBooks that won’t boot, have corrupted systems or failed drives. We recover your files before any repair or reinstall.

Hard drives & SSDs

Internal and external drives that click, aren’t recognised, have been formatted by mistake or have lost their partitions.

USB sticks & SD cards

Memory cards from cameras, drones and phones, and USB sticks that ask to be formatted or show up empty.

Deleted files

Accidentally deleted photos or documents can sometimes be recovered. Stop using the device straight away and get in touch.

DEVICE UNLOCKING

Locked out of
your own device?

It happens to everyone: a new PIN you can’t remember, a pattern a child changed, or a phone you reset that now asks for an old Google account. We help owners of Android phones, iPhones, iPads, Windows laptops, MacBooks and desktop computers get back in, using the right method for each device.

  • Forgotten PIN, pattern or password
  • Google account lock (FRP) after a reset
  • Network unlocking for any UK SIM
  • Windows and Mac login passwords
  • Help with Apple’s official Activation Lock process
What you’ll need to bring ↗

Proof of ownership required.

We only unlock devices for their rightful owners. Please bring photo ID and proof of purchase, such as a receipt, invoice or contract, or the account details the device is linked to. We won’t work on any device reported lost or stolen, or one we can’t confirm belongs to you. Unlocking a forgotten passcode can sometimes mean erasing the device, and we’ll always tell you before we start.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions,
answered.

Something else on your mind?
Call us on 01772 414 324.

Can you recover data from a phone that won’t turn on?

Often, yes. Many phones that seem dead have a fault such as a failed screen, battery, charging port or liquid damage. We repair or bypass the fault so the phone can start, then copy your data off safely.

Can you get photos off a broken iPhone or Android?

If the phone’s internal storage is intact, we can usually get to your photos, videos and messages. For iPhones, we may need your passcode, because Apple encrypts data on the device.

My hard drive is clicking. What should I do?

Switch it off and don’t keep trying it, as a clicking drive can get worse each time it powers on. Get in touch and we’ll explain the options. If a drive needs specialist cleanroom work, we’ll tell you before going any further.

Can you unlock a phone if I’ve forgotten the passcode?

Yes, for genuine owners with proof of ownership. Depending on the device, this may mean resetting it, which erases the data unless you have a backup. We’ll always explain what will happen before we start.

Can you remove iCloud Activation Lock or a Google account lock?

We don’t bypass security locks on devices that aren’t yours. If you’re the owner, we help you remove the lock properly: by signing in with your account, recovering your account details, or supporting your request to Apple with proof of purchase.

Can you network unlock my phone?

Yes. We can help unlock most phones from one UK network so you can use any SIM. Bring the phone and proof that it’s yours.

Is my data kept private?

Yes. We only access what’s needed to recover and check your files, and we never share your data. Once you’ve confirmed you have everything, our working copy is securely deleted.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. You can pay with Klarna in 3 interest-free payments or in 30 days, subject to eligibility. How Klarna works ↗
