The nearest real, independent recovery laboratory is ours, about forty minutes from Widnes in Moreton, Wirral. Failed drives come to us directly — dropped off by appointment, collected from your door, or sent by tracked post. Prices from £350 including VAT, on a no data, no fee basis.

How it works from Widnes
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 — over the Mersey Gateway and along the M56 to the Wirral, about forty minutes from Widnes, with free parking directly outside the lab and hand-delivery welcome by appointment. Prefer not to travel? We can arrange UPS door-to-door collection from anywhere in the Widnes 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 by tracked courier. If we can’t recover meaningful data, there’s no recovery fee.
The nearest real data recovery laboratory to Widnes
Widnes was one of the birthplaces of the British chemical industry, and it’s still a working town — chemicals, manufacturing, logistics and distribution line the Mersey from the Gateway to the docks. Around-the-clock industry runs on servers, NAS boxes, RAID arrays and CCTV systems, and when they fail, they need a real laboratory, not a forwarding address. Ours is forty minutes away, 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 Widnes and the towns around it — see also our Warrington, Runcorn and Liverpool pages. 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. Dedicated pages: 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 Widnes — common questions
Can I bring my drive to the lab from Widnes?
Yes — by appointment. We’re at Tarran Industrial Estate in Moreton, Wirral — about forty minutes from Widnes over the Mersey Gateway, 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 Widnes?
Yes — we can arrange UPS door-to-door collection from anywhere in the Widnes area 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.
