An old railway and market town in easy reach of our bench, Chippenham keeps plenty of data worth protecting. We're Bristol Data Recovery, a straight run down the M4, recovering hard drives, SSDs, camera cards, 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, and a written quote first.
Around 30 miles from Chippenham to our Bristol bench — close enough to drop off, easy enough to post.
From the town out to Corsham, Calne and the Cotswold-edge villages, the service is the same: drop it off, or post it in fully insured.
Chippenham is a historic Wiltshire market town of around 37,000 people, set on the river Avon and shaped by the railway — Brunel's Great Western main line still runs through it, and it remains a busy commuter base for Bath, Bristol and Swindon. Around it lie some of the most picturesque corners of the county, from Lacock and Castle Combe to Corsham, alongside light industry, professional firms and a great many family homes.
That mix produces a steady flow of data, business and personal: accounts and client files, design and project work, 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 feel like the data is gone. It usually isn't.
Most failed drives still hold their data perfectly; the fault is in the electronics, the heads or the file system, not the data itself. It just needs lifting off safely by people who do this every day.
We're Bristol Data Recovery, around 30 miles down the M4, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Chippenham homes and businesses for over 25 years. 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, and on most jobs it's no fix, no fee.
Four of the jobs we see most often from the town and the villages.
From Chippenham you're a straight run down the M4 — 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. Urgent cases can often be prioritised — just ask when you call.
A snapshot of what we handle for Chippenham customers — each links to the detail.
A few words from customers we've helped around the town.
My external drive of family photos stopped working. I dropped it in at Bristol and had everything back within the week. Clear price, friendly, 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.
A card of holiday photos came up blank. Every shot recovered, fixed price, no fuss. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
