Dead, smashed or water-damaged Android phone? Our lab recovers photos, messages and contacts from all Android makes and models.
Android Phone Data Recovery
We Are The UK’s Leading Specialists
Data Clinic are the UK’s leading specialists in Android phone data recovery services. With over 20 years of experience, we recover vital data from Android phones and tablets that are physically damaged, faulty, unresponsive, or declared “beyond repair” by high street shops.
We successfully recover data from Android devices that have been:
- Smashed or have cracked/broken screens
- Bent, crushed, or run over
- Intentionally damaged
- Water damaged (including submersion in fresh water, salt water, or other liquids)
- Fire or heat damaged
Common recoverable data includes your precious photos, videos, contacts, text messages, WhatsApp media and chats, documents, and notes.
Unlike high street phone repair shops that focus on cosmetic fixes or basic software resets, we are dedicated data recovery technicians. Our advanced capabilities — including micro soldering, ultrasonic cleaning, chip replacements, and CPU swaps — allow us to tackle complex issues like faulty or damaged logic boards where others cannot.
If you’ve been told your Android phone’s data is unrecoverable, contact us today for a professional assessment.
Important Notes Before Sending Your Device:
- We will need your passcode to access and recover data (unless the phone is very old and pre-encryption).
- If the phone has been factory reset, data recovery is not possible — the data no longer exists on the device.
- If too many incorrect passcodes have been entered and the phone shows as “unavailable“, we cannot recover the data.
- Permanently deleted files (photos, messages, etc.) may be recoverable if the phone hasn’t been heavily used since deletion. Substantial ongoing use often overwrites data, making recovery unlikely.
Your phone will not be returned. Our focus is solely on data extraction which often means your phone will be completely dismantled.
Data Clinic Ltd – Our Latest Trustpilot Reviews
Brilliant service
Brilliant service. Janice and the lab team are outstanding. Good communication and updates throughout. Files on 2 discs were retrieved, 1 with new heads needed. Good pricing - transparent and competitive. They've been amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or to recommend them.
Communication was engaging
Communication was engaging. The services offered, potential cost and timescales were clear at the outset. The courier collection and delivery were managed well. A good experience and a positive outcome.
A very effective service
My iPhone completely bricked on holiday and I tried everything, even a new screen but I couldn't get it to work. I thought I had lost all my holiday photos but Data Clinic managed to recover everything that was on the phone and I couldn't be happier! They are very friendly and professional.
Highly recommend Data Clinic
Janice and the team at Data Clinic have been brilliant through the whole process of helping recover my drive. I was really impressed they could show me my drive contents virtually and get everything back to me very quickly. I would highly recommend!
Amazing service by the team
Amazing service by the team and especially Mohammad. My SSD was taken for emergency recovery within the same day and satisfactory results were delivered. Highly recommend these guys if you value your data!
Really satisfied with the service
Really satisfied with the service from start to finish. I've contacted multiple companies around Manchester which all quoted £400-700 with turnaround of minimum 1 week, whereas they've completed this within 3-4 working days for less than £300.
Top notch communication and service
Top notch communication and service. My hard drive fell onto the carpet and started beeping. My laptop registered a hard drive was connected but no files would appear. Janice at Data Clinic was amazing.
Very easy and quick turnaround
Very easy and quick turnaround of retrieving all my data from a 15+ year old hard drive which recently stopped mounting. Comms and expertise were A++ and I'm very happy with the result.
Thousands of family photos recovered
Hard drive failed with thousands of family photos not backed up anywhere. Was expecting the worst — very happy with Data Clinic, they retrieved it all and transferred it to a good hard drive. Lesson learned!
They deserve 10 stars not 5!
I wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5! I am absolutely blown away by the service, level of professionalism and such friendly, accommodating and wonderful staff. I had a horrific scare with my hard drive.
They volunteered a lower price!
They quoted a price I was happy with, but when they received my bad hard drive they realised they could fix it more easily than first expected and reduced the price.
Our Android Data Recovery Service Levels
Level 1 Android Data Recovery
Handles issues with peripheral components like the screen, battery, charging port, power lines, and buttons. ~60% of Android recoveries are resolved at this level. Typical cases: smashed screens, faulty charging ports, power issues, damaged chassis.
Note: Level 1 costs are payable regardless of outcome (examination/diagnostic fee applies).
Level 2 Android Data Recovery
Required when the logic board (motherboard) is damaged or faulty. We repair complex internal issues involving power lines, chips, and other small components. Common for severe damage: bent phones, run-over devices, liquid/fire damage, heavy impact.
Important: Level 2 costs are only payable upon successful recovery
Level 3 Android Data Recovery (CPU Swap)
If Level 2 cannot locate or fix all faults (too many issues on the logic board), we may recommend a CPU swap. This advanced process removes the data-holding chips from your damaged board and transplants them into a compatible working board to extract your files. A separate quotation is provided, and we only proceed with your approval.
Points to Note for All Android Recovery Services
Your phone will be dismantled during the recovery process.- Your phone will not be returned to you — our priority is your data.
- Recovered data is provided securely on a memory stick (USB drive).
Don’t risk your irreplaceable memories with inadequate high street repairs or unproven software tools. Data Clinic delivers professional, forensic-grade Android data recovery trusted across the UK.
