Expert Physical Data Recovery Services in London – PC-3000 & Clean Room Facility

Creative IT offers advanced physical data recovery services across London and the UK. Whether your hard drive has been dropped, exposed to water, burned, or is making strange noises, we can help. Using a certified Class 100 Clean Room and the world-renowned PC-3000 data recovery platform, our engineers recover data from drives with even the most severe mechanical and electrical faults.

Common Types of Physical Drive Failures We Repair

  • Burnt or short-circuited PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
  • Head crashes or read/write head failure
  • Motor seizure or stuck platters
  • Water, liquid, or fire damage
  • Dropped external or internal drives
  • Power surges or lightning damage
  • Overheating and smoke-damaged components

Physical damage cannot be fixed with software alone — it requires expert hardware-level diagnostics and component-level repair in a contaminant-free environment.

Data Recovery Process: How We Recover Your Data

Our data recovery engineers perform the following process:

  • Inspect the drive for burnt components, cracked chips, or damaged traces
  • Test power and spin-up functionality
  • Use PC-3000 hardware to access the firmware and system areas of the drive
  • Open the drive in a Class 100 Clean Room if internal parts like the head stack or platters are affected
  • Use a donor drive (same brand/model/firmware) for head swaps or component transplant
  • Create a sector-by-sector image once stable to extract files safely
