From the Highlands and the islands to the Borders and the central belt, the Edinburgh lab recovers data for the whole country. You do not need to be anywhere near the city: an insured, tracked parcel brings the drive to the bench, the work is done in-house, and the data goes home the same way. The diagnostic is free wherever you are.
Insured post from any Scottish address, a fixed written quote before work starts, and every recovery handled in-house — never sent away.
Most of Scotland’s people and businesses sit in the central belt, and the lab covers all of it — but it does not stop there. Whether you are in Aberdeen or Inverness in the north, Dundee, Perth or Stirling in the middle, or one of the towns strung along the Borders, the recovery is identical and so is the price. Distance never changes what can be brought back.
Getting a failed drive to Edinburgh is simpler than it sounds. For a single hard drive or SSD, an insured, tracked parcel from anywhere in Scotland reaches the lab next day, and we will walk you through packing it safely; for a heavier RAID or NAS, a courier collection can be arranged. Everything is done on our own bench — nothing is ever forwarded to a third party — and the drive comes back to you when it is finished.
Yes — most of Scotland outside the cities reaches us by post, and it works exactly the same. An insured, tracked parcel arrives at the Edinburgh lab next day from almost anywhere, the recovery is identical to a local drop-off, and the diagnostic is free. Being remote costs you nothing and changes nothing about the odds.
It is, with a little care. A failed drive is far more robust in a well-packed box than most people expect, and we will tell you exactly how to wrap a bare disk so it travels without harm. Send it insured and tracked, and you will know where it is the whole way.
