// data recovery in bridgwater

An industrial town on the move.

Bridgwater is one of Somerset's busiest working towns — a historic port on the Parrett, a market town of around 42,000 people, and a major hub for industry, manufacturing and distribution along the M5. The vast Hinkley Point C project on the coast nearby has drawn in contractors, suppliers and logistics operations from across the country, adding to an already industrial economy.

That makes for a great deal of data, business and personal: project files, compliance and accounts records, logistics systems, and households with years of photos on a single drive. When the storage holding it fails — a dropped external, a dead SSD, a failed array — it can bring work, or memories, to a halt.

We're Bristol Data Recovery, around 30 miles up the M5, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Bridgwater homes and businesses for over 25 years. Hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks, camera cards, Macs, laptops, RAID arrays, NAS boxes, servers and databases all cross our bench, and every recovery is carried out in-house.

Because we're a clear run up the motorway, you can drop your device off at our Bristol location or post it in fully insured. Every job opens with a free written diagnostic and a fixed quote, business-critical jobs can often be prioritised, and on most jobs it's no fix, no fee.

Trusted across Bridgwater.

A few words from customers we've helped around the town.

★★★★★
Our company server went down with everyone's files on it. They reconstructed the array from the drives and recovered the lot, and prioritised it when I explained. Excellent.

My external drive of family photos stopped being recognised. I dropped it in at Bristol and had everything back within the week. Clear price, no fuss.

SSD in my laptop died overnight with no warning. They recovered my work files within four days and explained everything clearly. Brilliant service.
