How it works from Swindon
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 Swindon customers use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed: book the label online and drop your parcel at any Post Office branch — tracked, signed for and next-day. Prefer collection? We can arrange UPS door-to-door pickup for £14.95 from addresses across Swindon and Wiltshire. 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 Swindon — without the middleman
Swindon 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 Swindon 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 town and the county, from Old Town, West Swindon, Haydon Wick, Stratton and Wroughton out to Highworth, Royal Wootton Bassett, Marlborough, Devizes, Calne and Chippenham — and Oxford along the A420 has its own 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 Swindon — common questions
How do I get my drive to you from Swindon?
Most Swindon customers send by Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed — book it online, then either hand it in at a Post Office branch (take the QR code and they’ll print the label for you) or book Royal Mail’s Parcel Collect and your postie picks it up from your door. One thing worth knowing: Royal Mail only accept Special Delivery items at Post Office branches and their own Customer Service Points — not parcel shops, lockers or postboxes. If you’d rather not deal with any of that, we can arrange UPS door-to-door collection from anywhere in Swindon for £14.95. And if you’re ever passing the North West, you’re welcome to drop off in person by appointment.
Is it safe to post a failed hard drive from Swindon?
Yes — with the right service. Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed is tracked and signed for, and next-day from Swindon. 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 Swindon?
If you can find a genuine recovery lab, use it — but genuine labs are rare anywhere in the UK, and many local-looking Swindon 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.
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 Swindon firms. 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 the round trip take from Swindon?
Shipping adds a day each way at most. Every case then 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, so a drive posted from Swindon risks only the postage.
