Cheadle DATA Recovery Ltd

I contacted Cheadle Data Recovery as I had dropped my laptop and damaged my HDD. I was aware that recovering any data was going to be costly, but was heartened by the clarity that Dr. John Reid provided regarding ‘no recovery, no fee’ and the fact that the prices quoted for a successful recovery were fixed.The communication throughout was impeccable from John, even though it took me two years to decide if I wanted to commit to the expense. At the end of the process, he managed to recover pretty much all of my lost data (very much worth the expense) and showed nothing but the highest level of professionalism and expertise.I cannot recommend Cheadle Data Recovery highly enough. If you’re unfortunate enough to end up in a situation similar to mine, you don’t need to look anywhere else other than CDR.

I could not recommend highly enough!!! I had a Lacie hard drive failure after only 1 year of use and I wasn't proactive in backing up my work. I brought my hard drive to a different company first who charged me tons of money for parts and didn't end up recovering any of my data. When I brought my hard drive to John, we discovered that my hard drive was completely mishandled by the previous company with numerous parts missing among other issues (see pictures of just how bad it was!). Thankfully John was able to work with the hard drive despite the issues and missing parts and recovered the vast majority of my data, saving me from losing countless hours of work and precious memories. Communication with John was excellent from the start with detailed messages and pictures. Very friendly and professional service as well and you can tell he's passionate about his work. In an industry with next to no regulation, it's incredibly hard to know who to trust and who's a scammer. I can tell you now that your hard drive is in very safe hands with John and I coudn't be more grateful for the hard work he put into saving my data. Thank you John!

I can’t explain how grateful I am for finding Cheadle Data Recovery Ltd. My main storage hard drive were over 2 years of customer work (mainly book cover designs) and years of my own personal writing and illustration work suddenly stopped working. My online backup had failed also (on oversight on my part). After having a few people try to retrieve the data but unable to, I was ready to admit defeat and accept it was all lost. But then I found CDR and after a chat with John who explained everything clearly, I handed over the drive. He returned 100% of all my data! His prices are clear with no surprise hidden extras, and works extremely professionally. So happy all my life work is returned and I will be recommending him to everyone. Huge thanks and appreciation. :)

Cheadle Data saved my bacon! After my water bottle leaked in my computer bag my external hard drive was drowned. John was helpful, clear and concise at every stage and it was reassuring to know that if the data couldn't be recovered there would be no fee. Amazingly, John managed to recover every single file and I was back up and running in no time. Worth every penny!

Cheadle Data Recovery promptly, efficiently and economically restored 4000 deleted images representing 10 years' work that I accidentally deleted on a hard drive. I am delighted that a colleague recommended CDR to me, and am thrilled that they were able to reverse a devastating loss on budget and within a few days.

One of the best customer and technical service experiences we've had. From initial telephone call to receiving our recovered data, John kept us updated at each and every step in a clear and concise manner. We highly recommend Cheadle DATA Recovery if you're looking for a professional data recovery service.

Simply amazing!My world had fallen apart when the computer crashed couple of weeks before Christmas. Everything, yes everything was on there all by business stuff for the last about 15 years. A good friend of mine had the computer and replaced the hard drive gave me the computer back to get going, whist keeping the old hard drive to retrieve all the information on it.A couple more weeks and was told ‘some of the data had been retrieved ‘but sadly some couldn’t be but would keep trying, another couple of weeks and I was given a hard drive with the retrieved data.80% had been recovered however the most important information was the 20% that was ‘no longer retrievable’!The pain and agony as it was all financials that I desperately needed. My friend had suggested to contact CDR ‘Cheshire Data Recovery’ to see they could help and also another friend had mentioned them too!What a refreshing change to get a prompt and positive response from John, from the initial contact, phone conversation with full in depth explanation of what’s happened, what could be done and the possible outcome filled me with full confidence knowing I was dealing with someone who had a passion for his work and more so wanting to help.No over promises but statements of what would happen, I posted off the hard drive and next day got a response to say john was in possession of the hard drive and the time schedule of when it may be in the system. Sadly my hard drive was more damaged due to the times the data was tried to be retrieved, which meant some parts had to be ordered to rebuild my hard drive. A week or so later I was sent some files to check to see if everything was in there.As I checked the folders my heart sank that the data had not been recovered only the stuff that I had already got, a quick email to John to confirm was that the case and there was no sign of the other 20% data that I really needed.John asked me look harder at the ’found’ files and study all them, after a few hours of looking.. to my amazement those missing, important files were there, it’s just they were not listed/ labelled but all there.I am so pleased I contacted John who has literally saved my life, a very professional man, who knows what he’s talking about.Great service, great price and would highly recommend Dr John C Reid, Cheadle Data Recovery. 100%.Thank you.UMESH SAMANISPECIALIST CARS STOKE

Cheadle Data Recovery managed to restore precious videos and pictures I thought I had lost due to my external hard drive being corrupted. An extremely professional service, you will be kept up to date step by step. I would definitely recommend.

Thank goodness I came across Cheadle Data Recovery. I was the unofficial photographer at my best friend’s wedding and when I started to edit the photos, my SD card became corrupt and inaccessible. I was devastated. A few emails later and all the images have been recovered along with many other photos of happy family memories. I cannot thank them enough. They kept me updated throughout the whole process. The fee structure was very clear. Everything was as straight forward and as quick as it could be. Highly recommend.

My experience with CDR has been amazing. As a Masters student whose deadline was round the corner, my external hard drive suddenly broke and I was very anxious about losing all of my work. I brought it straight to John, managing director of CDR, who was recommended to me by multiple PC stores. As CDR works on a ‘no recovery, no fee’ basis, it was more reassuring for me to take up John’s service. He was very professional throughout our conversations and was regularly keeping me in the loop with the progress of the data recovery. He was also very patient with all the questions I had, and I am extremely grateful for how quick he retrieved my data (even through the weekend) under the ‘emergency service.’ On top of this, he ran a test on my new external hard drive just for further reassurance. Thank you so much for your help!
