When my old family iMac failed to boot a few months ago, I thought I'd lost 10 years of family photos and videos. Thankfully Joseph and Navid at Data Recovery Lab did a fantastic job of recovering my data, so all has ended well. Its not cheap but I'd gladly pay their fee every time to bringing this valuable data back online. I highly recommend this data recovery service.

I would thoroughly recommend the Data Recovery Lab if you are panicking about lost data and have been told there is little chance of retrieving it. After my SD card for my phone defaulted and I lost over 10k pieces of date, I was told by various companies there was little chance of getting the data back. However after contacting the Lab, I was reassured that this was possible and the experts that work there were one hundred percent successful in retrieving all my data.
Not only are the employees complete experts in what they do, they are also extremely reassuring from start to finish in their communication with the client, which made me feel relaxed and at ease. Particular thanks to David who dealt with this particular technical issue seemingly and professionally. The best service I have received-would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Cannot thank you enough.

Perfect service, Navid answered all my stupid questions and chatted away to me whilst I noseyed around the office. Answered all emails and texts immediately and called me when I was confused. Had my data back in a week and they made it so I can access it on both windows and mac. Also they do student discount yay

I lost some crucial images through a corrupted SD card in a camera, and Navid and his team did an absolutely fantastic job in not only recovering all the files, but doing it within a week of submitting the card. I cannot thank Data Recovery Lab enough for their hard work on this. I would 100% recommend them, and hopefully I won't require their services again, but I know exactly where I'll go if I do! Thank you again, guys, you were brilliant. Sam

Hidden away in deepest darkest North Finchley I discovered a team who were able to recover my files from an external drive that had imploded. As a journalist I am an unashamed information hoarder (hmm that may come in useful sometime!) so all my research and two magazine launch photos and editorial would have been lost. Plus some lovely photos of me when I was young and good looking! Thank you Data Recovery Lab!

Fantastic service thanks to an incredibly knowledgeable team of computer scientists and data recovery specialists. They not only helped me retrieve all my lost data but ensured the extracted files were backed up on multiple devices. Would definitely run back to Data Recovery Lab if I ever needed to. Great communication and all around brilliant result. Life-savers!

My 1TB hard drive had a mechanical failure overnight and I urgently needed my data back for work. DRL came back to me very quickly and late in the evening to reassure me and lay down their costs and plan. Perhaps it was because of Lockdown or because I did not pay for the emergency data recovery option but it ended up taking exactly 2 weeks (Thursday to Thursday) from when I brought the hard drive to when I could pick up the recovered data.
They were however very communicative throughout the process, and I could contact them at any moment. It was an expensive process but if it is necessary than go for it. My data was fully recovered, I couldn't imagine anyone could do a better job.

Initially I was dubious but I am pleased I chose DRL. My external hard drive was dropped on a real wooden floor and remained intact. However, once connected to a laptop it started to 'sing'. I called DRL and they clearly explained their processes and expectations and what I could expect from them. I was able to drop it off that same evening and they diagnosed the problem that same evening (within a 2 hour window!).
Understanding the urgency and my position, all my data was recovered by midday the following day and I had everything back in the evening. Yes this service is on the pricey side but for peace of mind and knowing the best is being done, I wouldn't haste to recommend. THANK YOU DRL!

Great service! recovered almost all my photos after i accidentally deleted them all from my memory card. All in just a few hours! Perfect
Ingrid Horton
Absolutely brilliant - I thought that I had lost years of memories from my photos, when the hard drive on my laptop crashed. They gave me a quote and that was what I paid, always kept in touch, and very helpful. Thanks

I used Data Recovery Lab in Jan 2018 to recovery photos from an old external hard disk. They were efficient, quick and recovered all my data. But it is a very expensive service. They are comparable to others in terms of price. I liked that fact I could drop it and collect it. I would use them again.
Sheila Smith
An excellent service. The team at DRL were knowledgeable and thorough. They set up my machine exactly as I wanted it, and showed me how to operate the new configuration. I am delighted with the result.
Mai Perry-Gosling
Friendly office and great communication throughout. Would use them again but hopefully will never have to as I now know how vital it is to back up your work/photos!
Victor Alvarez
Brilliant service! I had a damaged hard drive and took it to Data Recovery London Lab. They were able to recover the data I needed. Really professional and fast. They sent me a quote before recovering the data and kept me well informed of the whole process through their platform. Highly recommended!
