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!

Joshua Humphrey • 17 Jul 2026

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!

Arnav Singh • 8 Jul 2026

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.

Annie • 19 Jun 2026

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.

Molly Littlejohn • 12 Jun 2026

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!

Jacques Barnard • 9 Jun 2026

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.

Asra Hussain • 11 May 2026

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.
