From the cathedral city's businesses to the garrisons of Salisbury Plain and the villages of the Avon valley, Salisbury holds a great deal of data worth keeping. We're Bristol Data Recovery, 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 50 miles from Salisbury to our Bristol bench — an easy insured post, or a drop-off if you're heading our way.
From the cathedral close out to Amesbury and the garrison villages, the service is the same: drop it off, or post it in fully insured.
Salisbury is one of England's great historic cities — the medieval cathedral with the tallest spire in the country, an original Magna Carta in its chapter house, and Stonehenge and Old Sarum on its doorstep. It's a city of around 40,000 people, a popular tourist destination, a busy market and professional centre, and the civilian hub for the garrisons spread across Salisbury Plain.
All of that generates data worth protecting: tourism and heritage photography, business and professional records, defence and contractor files, and households with years of memories 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.
In most cases it isn't. The majority of 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 50 miles up the A36, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Salisbury 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.
From Salisbury you can post your device in insured and tracked, or drop it off in Bristol if you're heading our way.
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 and tracked.
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.
Posting adds about a day each way; drop-offs skip it entirely. Urgent cases can often be prioritised — just ask.

A snapshot of what we handle for Salisbury customers — each links to the detail.
A few words from customers we've helped around the city.
My external drive of family photos stopped working. I posted it from Salisbury, had a quote the next day and 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 throughout.
We needed a locked BitLocker drive recovered for work. They confirmed what they needed up front and the data came back intact. Careful and professional.
