We're two specialists—digital forensics and software engineering—who believe data recovery should be secure, transparent, and expertly handled.
After years in digital forensics and software engineering, we noticed something frustrating about the data recovery industry: too many shops making impossible promises, unclear pricing, and treating customers' data carelessly.
We founded DataRecover UK to do things differently. Our forensic background means we understand that data isn't just files—it's evidence, memories, livelihoods, and irreplaceable work. It deserves to be handled with care and respect.
Today, we're a small, specialist team serving individuals and businesses across the UK via our mail-in service. We've recovered data from thousands of devices—from a grandmother's photo collection to critical business servers.
Our Team
Your data is handled by specialists with decades of combined experience.
Digital Forensics Specialist
15 years in digital forensics, previously with the Metropolitan Police Digital Forensics Unit. Certified EnCase examiner. Specialises in evidence handling and complex recovery cases.
Software & Recovery Engineer
Former software engineer with 12 years in data systems. Deep expertise in file systems, storage architectures, and recovery tooling. Builds custom tools for complex recoveries.
Our Values
Every decision we make prioritises the security of your data. From encrypted storage to access logging, we treat your files as if they were our own.
No jargon, no hidden fees, no false promises. We explain what's possible, what it costs, and what the risks are—before any work begins.
We access your files only to verify recovery success. We don't browse, examine, or retain content beyond the agreed retention period.
Our forensic background means we understand chain of custody, integrity verification, and proper evidence handling—even for non-legal cases.
Our Approach
Security and transparency are built into everything we do.
We always attempt the least invasive recovery methods first. More aggressive techniques are only used when necessary and with your knowledge.
We won't promise what we can't deliver. If recovery is unlikely or impossible, we'll tell you upfront—saving you time and money.
We only access what's necessary. Your files are recovered, not reviewed. Technician access is logged and auditable.
Encrypted storage, controlled access, secure deletion. Our processes are designed with security as a foundation, not an afterthought.
