Data Recovery for Crewe
Professional data recovery for Crewe and South Cheshire — hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays and NAS systems, recovered at our own laboratory an hour’s drive away on the Wirral.
Search for data recovery in Crewe and you’ll mostly find collection points and call centres — the drives themselves get vanned off to a lab somewhere else. The nearest real, independent recovery laboratory is ours, about an hour from Crewe in Moreton, Wirral — close enough to hand-deliver a business-critical array and watch it booked in, with £14.95 tracked collection covering everything from Winsford to Market Drayton. Prices from £350 including VAT, on a no data, no fee basis.
Your drive stays in our lab
Every recovery happens here — at our own lab, on our own benches, by our own engineers. When you drop a drive off, the person you hand it to is the person who works on it.
And when you want to know how your case is going, you get answers from the people actually doing the work, not a call centre script.

How it works from Crewe
1. Start your case — Complete the recovery assessment form with what’s happened and what the drive is doing. We review every case properly before replying — you’ll get the likely pricing tier and clear next steps, with no obligation.
2. Get your drive to us — We’re at Tarran Industrial Estate in Moreton, Wirral: about an hour from Crewe via the M6 and M56, and hand-delivery by appointment is always welcome for business-critical drives, with free parking directly outside the lab. Prefer not to travel? We can arrange UPS door-to-door collection from anywhere in the Crewe area for £14.95, or Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed from your local Post Office works just as well — tracked and signed for either way. Pack the drive in a box with plenty of bubble wrap — not a padded envelope.
3. Approve, recover, return — We assess the drive, confirm a firm quote, and only proceed once you approve it. Recovered data is returned on new media — collect it in person or have it delivered by tracked courier. If we can’t recover meaningful data, there’s no recovery fee.
The nearest real data recovery laboratory to Crewe
Crewe is the town the railway built, and it still makes things — rail engineering, luxury car manufacturing, and the logistics parks feeding the M6 — while the market towns around it run on farm businesses, professional practices and shops. All of it runs on data, and when a drive, server or NAS fails, the recovery usually means a courier and a distant unit you’ll never see. Ours is an hour up the road, and you’re welcome to visit it — hand-deliver business-critical drives by appointment, meet the people who’ll work on them, and collect them the same way. We handle everything from dropped external drives and unresponsive SSDs to failed multi-disk RAID, NAS and server systems, for businesses and homes across Crewe and the towns around it: Nantwich, Sandbach, Middlewich, Winsford, Northwich and Knutsford, down through Kidsgrove, Chesterton and Newcastle-under-Lyme to Market Drayton, Whitchurch and Tarporley. Every review on our Google profile is from a real customer who dealt with a real lab — worth a look before you post your drive to a website whose address you can’t find. We cover the wider region too — see our Chester and Wirral pages — plus dedicated pages for external hard drive recovery, NAS data recovery and RAID data recovery, or get in touch and we’ll identify what you’re dealing with.
Data recovery for Crewe — common questions
Can I bring my drive to the lab from Crewe?
Yes — by appointment. We’re at Tarran Industrial Estate in Moreton, Wirral — about an hour from Crewe via the M6 and M56, with free parking directly outside. Start with the recovery assessment form and we’ll arrange a time that suits; that way the right engineer is expecting your drive and it goes straight onto the bench.
Do you collect in Crewe?
Yes — we can arrange UPS door-to-door collection from anywhere in the Crewe area — Nantwich, Sandbach, Middlewich and the surrounding towns included — for £14.95, tracked and signed for. Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed from your local Post Office works just as well if that’s easier. Pack the drive in a box with plenty of bubble wrap — not a padded envelope.
Why use a dedicated recovery lab?
Genuine recovery laboratories are rare — much of the “data recovery” offered regionally is forwarded on to a lab like ours anyway. Coming to Dragon directly means your device is handled by the engineers actually doing the work, at the lab itself, from first contact to the moment your data is returned.
My RAID or NAS has failed — can you handle multi-drive systems?
Yes — RAID and NAS recovery is a core specialism of the lab. Power the system down, leave it down, and start with the recovery assessment form; rebuilding or re-initialising a degraded array is the most common way data gets destroyed before it reaches us.
How long does data recovery take?
Every case moves through the same three stages: assessment, a firm quote for your approval, then the recovery itself. Straightforward cases are often completed within days of approval, while mechanical failures can take longer — particularly where matching donor parts have to be sourced. If your case is time-critical, say so on the recovery assessment form — urgent cases can be prioritised.
What does it cost?
Logical recoveries start from £350 and mechanical recoveries from £450, both including VAT. RAID, NAS and complex cases are quoted individually. You’ll always receive a firm quote for approval before any chargeable work begins — and if we can’t recover meaningful data, there’s no recovery fee.
