From the county town's businesses to the contractors around Hinkley and the farms of the Vale, Taunton generates plenty of 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 50 miles from Taunton to our Bristol bench — close enough to drop off, easy enough to post.
Taunton is the county town of Somerset — a market town of around 60,000 people, with the county cricket ground at its heart, a long agricultural and cider-making tradition, and a growing role as a business and services hub for the wider region. Nearby, the vast Hinkley Point C project has drawn in contractors and suppliers from across the country, while the surrounding Vale of Taunton Deane remains firmly rural.
That mix produces a lot of data, business and personal: accounts and project files, farm and trade records, 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 stop.
We're Bristol Data Recovery, around 50 miles up the M5, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Taunton 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, and on most jobs it's no fix, no fee.
Four of the jobs we see most often from the town and the Vale.
From the town out to Wellington, Bridgwater and the surrounding villages, the service is the same: drop it off, or post it in fully insured.
From Taunton you're a clear 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.
A snapshot of what we handle for Taunton customers — each links to the detail.
A few words from customers we've helped around the county 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.
Our business NAS failed with two drives down. They talked me through pulling the disks and recovered every file. Professional from start to finish.

Whichever suits you. Taunton is a clear run up the M5, so many customers drop the drive in — bring just the drive for laptops, NAS and servers, labelled. If you'd rather not travel, post it fully insured and tracked. Either way you get a free diagnostic and a fixed quote first.
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.
