// data recovery in yeovil

A market town built on engineering.

Yeovil is a South Somerset town of around 45,000 people with an industrial pedigree few towns its size can match. Once famous for glove-making, it became — and remains — a centre of British aerospace and defence, building helicopters for decades, with the Fleet Air Arm based nearby at Yeovilton. Around that core sits a wide supply chain of precision engineering and manufacturing firms, alongside the usual market-town businesses and homes.

All of that runs on data — design and engineering files, quality and compliance records, accounts and client work — much of it business-critical. When the storage holding it fails, whether that's a laptop or a multi-disk array, getting it back safely matters.

We're Bristol Data Recovery, around 40 miles up the A37, and we've recovered exactly this kind of data for Yeovil homes and businesses for over 25 years. We handle everything from a dropped external drive to a failed RAID server — all in-house, never shipped off elsewhere.

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, we can provide a documented chain of custody where it's needed, business-critical jobs can often be prioritised, and on most jobs it's no fix, no fee.

A few words from customers we've helped around the town.

★★★★★
Our engineering firm's RAID server went down with a project mid-flight. They reconstructed it from the disks and recovered every file, with a clear report. Professional throughout.

My laptop wouldn't boot with years of family photos on it. They took the drive, recovered everything and explained it all clearly. Worth the short trip up.

An SD card of wedding photos came up blank. Every shot recovered, fixed price, no fuss. Brilliant communication and posting it in was simple.
