How it works from Glasgow
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. Send us your drive — Most Glasgow customers use Royal Mail Special Delivery: book the label online and drop your parcel at any Post Office or drop-off point across the city — insured, tracked and next-day. Prefer collection? We can arrange UPS door-to-door pickup for £14.95 from any Glasgow or West of Scotland address. 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 by tracked courier. If we can’t recover meaningful data, there’s no recovery fee.
Data recovery for Glasgow — without the middleman
Glasgow homes and businesses send us everything from dropped external drives to failed office NAS units and multi-disk RAID arrays. Search for data recovery in Glasgow and many of the results are collection points or shopfronts that forward your drive to a specialist lab anyway — coming to Dragon directly cuts out that middle step, and you deal with the engineers actually doing the work from first contact to return delivery. We cover the whole of the West of Scotland, from Paisley and Clydebank to Hamilton, Motherwell and East Kilbride, and the rest of the country through our Scotland page. See our 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 in Glasgow — common questions
Is it safe to post a failed hard drive from Glasgow?
Yes — with the right service. Royal Mail Special Delivery is tracked, insured and signed for, and next-day from Glasgow with drop-off points across the city. Pack the drive in a box with plenty of bubble wrap — not a padded envelope. Prefer not to post it? We can arrange UPS collection from your door for £14.95 with the same tracking and protection.
Why not use a data recovery company in Glasgow?
If you can find a genuine recovery lab, use it — but genuine labs are rare anywhere in the UK, and many local-looking Glasgow services are fronts that ship your drive onward to a lab like ours regardless. Coming to Dragon directly means no middle step: your device is handled by the engineers actually doing the work, and you deal with the lab itself from first contact to return delivery.
How long does the round trip take from Glasgow?
Special Delivery is next-day each way, so shipping adds very little. On our standard service, assessment typically happens within 3–7 business days of your drive arriving, with typical completion in 6–10 business days. Faster priority levels are available if you need results urgently — timescales are indicative and depend on the condition of the drive.
My RAID or NAS has failed — can you handle multi-drive systems?
Yes — RAID and NAS recovery is a core specialism, including office servers and NAS systems for Glasgow firms, and systems other companies have declined or attempted. 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.
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, so a drive posted from Glasgow risks only the postage.
