Excellent, rapid, efficient and affordable service
Excellent company to deal with. Highly professional and patient and no pressure to get the files. The only company to do it. All other ones are scams.
Fantastic service. Saved so much data from our broken harddrive. Excellent communication. Totally recommend!
R3 data recovery was recommended to me after I had a major problem with data lost on a discarded hard drive. I had not backed up any of my data. R3 recovered data I needed and could not possibly have recovered without them.
Great communication and swift service. Successfully recovered important mobile phone data for me. Thanks!
5* customer service. I cannot thank R3 Data Recovery enough. The team recovered all my photos and videos from a WD NAS drive. Would highly recommend, you definitely get what you pay for, Many thanks.
Excellent service
Quick & efficient service. A little pricy but well worth it!!
Fantastic service! E-mails were answered quickly and informatively, and the recovery team managed to get all of my data back for me in great time. I've learned my lesson about backing up my data but if anyone I know ever needs their data recovered, I'm absolutely going to send them this way.
Spoke to Andy on Friday afternoon after all the files on my hdd were not accessible, he calmed me down and I dropped the disc in around tea time, Paul took a look and told me how the disc had failed and confirmed it should be possible to recover most if not all the data, and they would drop straight onto it. I received a list of recoverable files on Monday, paid the invoice which was actually slightly less than I was expecting and Tuesday lunchtime was able to collect the recovered data on a new hdd. Great service, reasonable costs and all my data was saved. Definitely recommend R3.
I accidentally overwrote my Masters portfolio literature review. I rang R3 data retrieval in the morning and Andy was amazing and managed to retrieve it for me within the day. Best money I ever spent, excellent service and customer care. 10/10 would recommend.
Knowledgable and friendly. Recovered 4000 pics from a dead Huwaei with swollen batteries and internal fault for me. Excellent professional service and communications.
