Flamborough, Bempton and Sewerby · Bridlington

Bridlington data recovery. Two trains an hour to Hull; your files, one copy.

Flamborough Head forms the north eastern corner of Bridlington Bay. Bridlington is situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire. As of the 2021 census, the population of both the town and parish of Bridlington was 38,404. The harbour authority in Bridlington are the Harbour Commissioners, who were established by an Act of Parliament passed in 1697. According to the harbour authorities' own statistics, there are approximately 100 small businesses operating out of the harbour, creating almost 400 jobs. Surrounding these businesses are the caravan parks along the coast, the guest houses along Marine Drive and South Cliff, the farms around Bessingby and Carnaby and the local photographers working at Bempton and Sewerby. What people send us is the same mix: catch and export paperwork, booking databases, camera memory cards and clicky external drives. You may contact us by phone to receive a quote or fill out our online quote form. Once you have obtained a quote you may post your item to the Leeds intake lab, tracked and insured to protect yourself against loss or damage. Alternatively you may drop your item off at the Leeds intake lab during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, with no appointment needed. Your first look is complimentary.

What you seeWhy it comes to usWhat to try
A quayside office PC no longer finding the diskAll of this is stored on that computer: the catch records, export documentation, and accounts.Remove the disk, obtain a quote initially, then post that alone.
A photo card from a morning at Bempton appears blank.This was removed from the camera before the write operation was complete.Do not take another picture using that card; obtain a quote first, then post that as it is.
A four-bay network attached storage system at Bessingby that will not rebuild.That is where the one copy of a small company's data resides: a single unit.Shut it down, number each disk by bay; obtain a quote first. Post those disks, or post that entire NAS unit if they cannot be removed.
A holiday park's reservation system stuck on a black screen.Reservations, owner information and receipts collected through card transactions are all contained within that box.Please stop restarting it. Obtain a quote first. We can then view the contents of the disk.
An external drive full of wedding work that has started clickingA whole season of shoots on it, with the couples all waitingTurn it off now; running it on makes things worse
Sending it to us: get a quote first via telephone call or through the online form. Once your quote has been confirmed, simply post it to the Leeds intake lab. Be sure to use tracking and insure your package as well, and include a copy of the printed shipping form inside the box. If you would rather drop it off in person at the Leeds intake lab, we accept those as well: drop-offs can be made Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. From a laptop, PC, Mac or recorder, all we need is the drive itself (storage soldered to the board is not taken on; if you're not sure which kind you have, ring us first). If you have multiple drives in a RAID system or server, send us all of the drives, labelled by bay. When sending a NAS, please remove the disks prior to sending if they come out; otherwise send the entire NAS. A single external hard drive should be sent complete with its cable and power supply. We will cover the cost of the return postage. Details regarding packing can be found on our sending page.

What to sort out before it goes in the post.

The post beats the A64Bridlington is 68 miles from Leeds by road. It takes around an hour and a half by car. Take the A614 to Market Weighton, then take the A1079 to York. Then take the A64 into Leeds. There is a lot of single carriageway along the A1079 and there may be queues at Grimston Bar roundabout. Before booking a courier, request a quote either over the telephone or using our online form. Once you have received a quote, book your courier. Your courier will track and log every handover made. Alternatively, if you wish to deliver it yourself, please visit the Leeds intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. No prior arrangement needs to be made.
Pack it as though it will be droppedUse the cardboard box that contained the hard disk drive if it was originally delivered in this packaging and still within a storage area. If the box cannot be used, ensure each face of the box is padded sufficiently to prevent items moving during transit. Hard disk drives are damaged when being transported more often than people realise. Also, include the printed shipping form with it as well.
More than one disk? Ring firstDo not open any NAS boxes, servers or other machines with several disks until you speak with us. The lab requires individual bare drives as opposed to any enclosures. We require a description of bay location and labelling to put the complete system back together again. A NAS whose disk(s) do not allow removal of the disk(s) must be sent as a complete unit. A company which has ceased business operations will be given priority in scheduling.
The same terms across YO15 and YO16You incur no cost for receiving a written diagnosis. The report will contain only one figure, the price, and nothing is added to it later. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data. Postage back to you (regardless of whether you live in Old Town, Sewerby or some coastal park) will also be paid for by us.

What one customer wrote.

All eight, in their words →

Tony and the rest of the Hull Data Recovery team did an excellent job of recovering data from a formatted hard drive that was considered to be unrecoverable by 4 other companies. All I had to do is pop it off to their Data Recovery Lab, and it was back in under a week with all data salvaged.

Wes Tanser · Bridlington

Asked most often in Bridlington.

Can I call in with it somewhere in Bridlington?

No, and we do not have a counter in Hull either. The donor components and imaging systems are located in one place, so your hard drive needs to travel to them: obtain a quotation via telephone or using our online form, then post it to our Leeds intake lab, tracked and insured, or personally deliver it there (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed). We open and assess your drive free on the day it arrives, and we pay the postage to send it back to you.

How quickly does a drive posted from Brid come back?

If you post your disk drive tracked on a working day, it should arrive at the Leeds intake lab ready for work the very next morning. There is no charge to assess your disk drive, and you will receive one figure in writing once we have completed the assessment. If your disk drive suffers logical faults, they should typically take less than 2 working days to complete. Seized motors however can take longer; if this is the case with your disk drive, we will advise accordingly.

Our booking database is on one office PC. What now?

Please switch your machine off at the wall and leave it alone. Do not attempt to use any repair tools or a reinstall to try and get it working again. The disk drive will be copied first prior to any attempts being made to fix the issue, therefore the original remains untouched in the condition it was received. Please let us know if a park or guest house is taking bookings on paper in the meantime.

We have a NAS at Bessingby. How should it be sent?

First phone us and get a quote. Next remove all of the disks and label each one with the bay it came from. The bench wants only bare drives, not the enclosure, and the same goes if you have a server or workstation containing multiple disks: agree on the order during the call, because the labelling is what allows us to rebuild the original configuration. If the NAS disks will not come out, you can send the entire NAS unit instead. All items should be posted using tracking and insurance to our Leeds intake lab, or dropped off there (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed).

Get a quote, then put it in the post from Bridlington and we start work.

Just leave it turned off and tell us about what went on. We don't have anything finalised until the free diagnostic says what we are dealing with.
