That horrible sinking feeling when you've deleted your photos or a project's gone missing. Don't panic. Bring it to our shop in South East London. For simple stuff, like accidentally deleted files or a corrupt Windows install, we'll do an evaluation for free. If the drive is physically broken, making clicking noises or not showing up at all, it might need 'clean room' work. If so, we work with a specialist lab and we'll get you a firm quote before anything happens. And look, your data is your data. It's completely private and never leaves our shop without your permission.
