From the Docks to the aerospace and cyber firms along the M5 corridor, Gloucester runs on data — and we keep it recoverable. We're Bristol Data Recovery, a straight run down the motorway, 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 35 miles from Gloucester to our Bristol bench — close enough to drop off, easy enough to post.
Gloucester is a city of around 130,000 people with an outsized industrial story — the historic Docks and Quays, a cathedral that has stood for nearly a thousand years, and one of the country's strongest clusters of advanced engineering and aerospace, from landing-gear and propeller makers to the wider supply chain along the M5. Just up the road, Gloucester and Cheltenham form one of the UK's most important cyber-security corridors.
All of that depends on data — CAD and engineering files, design archives, client and financial records, research and case files. When the storage holding it fails, whether that's a single laptop or a multi-disk business array, the stakes can be high.
We're Bristol Data Recovery, around 35 miles down the M5, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Gloucestershire homes and businesses for over 25 years. We handle everything from a dropped external drive to a failed RAID server — and every recovery is carried out in-house by our own engineers, never shipped off elsewhere.
Because we're close, 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, and for business-critical jobs we can often prioritise. On most jobs, it's no fix, no fee.

A few words from customers we've helped around the county.
Our engineering firm's RAID server went down with a project mid-flight. They reconstructed it from the disks and recovered every CAD file. Professional from start to finish.
My laptop wouldn't boot with years of family photos on it. They took the drive, recovered everything and explained it all clearly. A short hop down the M5 and sorted.
We needed a drive recovered with proper documentation for an insurance claim. They handled it carefully, gave us a clear report, and the data came back intact.
An SD card of wedding photos came up blank. Every shot recovered, fixed price, no fuss. Brilliant communication throughout.
