From the industrial estates and distribution parks to the contractors working on Hinkley, Bridgwater runs on data — and we keep it recoverable. We're Bristol Data Recovery, a straight run up the M5, recovering hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays, NAS units and servers in-house for over 25 years. Drop it off, or post it in. Free diagnostic, no fix no fee on most jobs.
Around 30 miles from Bridgwater to our Bristol bench — close enough to drop off, easy enough to post.
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.
Six of the jobs that come in most often from the town and the levels.
From Bridgwater you're a straight run up the M5 — drop the drive in and talk it through, or post it if you'd rather.
Call or message us with the device and the fault. We'll give you a likely price up front.
Bring your device — or just the drive for laptops, NAS and servers — to our Bristol location Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm, or post it fully insured.
We assess it, usually within 48 hours, and send a fixed written quote before any work begins.
We recover, verify against a file listing, and you collect in person or we post it back on fresh storage.
Drop-offs skip the post entirely. Business-critical cases can often be prioritised — just ask when you call.

From the town out to the coast at Burnham and the surrounding villages, the service is the same: drop it off, or post it in fully insured.
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.

Yes — it's a large part of what we do. We recover RAID arrays, NAS units, physical and virtual servers, and SQL and Exchange databases, all in-house and never outsourced. Business-critical jobs can often be prioritised, and we can provide a documented chain of custody where it's needed.
Often, yes — but don't power it up or dry it with heat, as that can cause more damage. Get it to us and we'll assess it. Water-damaged drives are recovered routinely as long as they haven't been run while still wet.
