Data recovery and video repair
What’s included with Data Recovery Specialist
This Data Recovery Specialist service starts by protecting the original media, checking what is still readable, then choosing the safest route for GoPro files, memory cards, USB drives and SSDs.
Relevant to this page
Data Recovery Specialist
Six parts of the scope are shown in the order they are considered, with the exact work confirmed before delivery begins.
01 / Scope
What the work covers
-
Safe intake
The first advice is usually to stop using the device, avoid formatting and keep the original media unchanged.
-
GoPro video repair
Interrupted, unplayable or partially recovered MP4 and MOV files are checked with matching sample clips where needed.
-
SD and microSD recovery
Readable memory cards can be imaged first, then scanned for deleted, formatted or corrupted photos and video files.
-
SSD and USB recovery
Logical recovery covers deleted files, damaged partitions and readable drives that still appear to a computer.
-
Clear escalation
Physical faults, liquid damage, controller failure and chip level cases are priced separately or routed to a specialist lab.
-
Private delivery
Recovered files are returned through an agreed private download, drive copy or secure handover route.
Read the full data recovery specialist service detail
Data recovery support for people who have lost important footage, photos or files after a card, camera, USB drive or SSD has been formatted, corrupted or interrupted.
The first step is careful triage. Stop recording to the media, avoid repair tools that write back to the same device and explain exactly what happened. Where possible, recovery work should happen from a safe copy rather than the original.
This service covers corrupted GoPro MP4 and MOV repair, action camera footage recovery, SD and microSD card recovery, USB drive recovery and SSD logical recovery where the media is still readable enough to work with.
Physical failure, liquid damage, chip level cases, encrypted media without the key and cleanroom work are quoted separately through the right specialist route before deeper work continues.

Choose a sensible starting point
Three routes, shaped around the job
Start with the route closest to the current problem. The exact scope is confirmed before meaningful build work begins.
02 / Starting route
Choose the closest fit
You do not need to diagnose the whole job before getting in touch. Pick the nearest route and the scope can be corrected before work starts.
Video repair
GoPro and MP4 repair from £99
Repair unplayable action camera files where the video or audio data still exists and a matching sample can be supplied if needed.
Card or drive
SD, microSD and SSD recovery
Recover files from readable cards, USB drives and SSDs with a safe copy first, then quote separately if hardware work is needed.
Should I keep trying the card or drive?
Usually stop. More recording, formatting, repair tools or repeated failed copies can overwrite recoverable data or make the next attempt harder.
Can every corrupted GoPro file be fixed?
No. A repair can only rebuild what still exists. A matching sample clip from the same camera settings can improve the chance of a playable result.
Do you open failed hard drives or do cleanroom work?
No. This page is for logical recovery and video repair first. Physical drive faults, clicking drives, liquid damage and chip level cases are quoted through the right specialist route.
Fit, problems and outcomes
Who this service helps and what it is built to improve
Useful coverage is grouped around buyer needs rather than exposed as an internal keyword list.
Corrupted video, cards and readable drive recovery
This service covers GoPro and action camera file repair, deleted or formatted card recovery, corrupted SD and microSD media, USB drives and SSDs that still present enough data to work from a safe copy.
It does not pretend every case is recoverable. If the storage is physically failing, encrypted without the key, overwritten, water damaged or needs chip level handling, the quote and route change before paid repair work continues.
Recovery first aid
Protect the original media before trying another repair
The page is built around the same rule used in sensible recovery work: reduce writes, make a safe copy where possible, then repair or recover from that copy.

What Working Together on Data Recovery Specialist Usually Looks Like
If you are looking at Data Recovery Specialist, the usual next step is a short brief, a proper scope, and a straight answer on budget, timing, and whether WordPress, custom code, or a mixed route makes the most sense.
01
Quick Brief
You explain the goal, what already exists, and where things feel stuck.
02
Scope & Route
The right route gets recommended properly, whether that means WordPress, custom-coded, an integration-heavy build, or a tighter first phase.
03
Build in Stages
Work is handled directly with clear review points, not bounced between account managers and mystery devs.
04
Launch & Handover
You get a live result, a clean next-step plan, and support options if the project needs ongoing care.
Typical Website Timeline
For brochure-style websites, landing pages, and cleaner business-site rebuilds, 1 to 4 weeks is the normal ballpark on the site. Bigger custom work takes longer once the scope gets heavier.
- • A clear brief and ready content speeds everything up.
- • Custom functionality and integrations extend the timeline sensibly.
- • Good builds move fast, but not recklessly.
Payment & Commercial Shape
Smaller builds usually run on a 50% upfront / 50% on completion structure, with larger work split into milestones where needed.
- • You get a proper scope before meaningful build work starts.
- • Anything outside the agreed scope gets priced before it is added.
- • Final handover happens once the closing balance is settled.
- • Invoices are normally due within 7 days unless something else is agreed in writing.
Best Fit
- • Businesses that want direct input from the developer doing the work.
- • Teams that need a clearer route from visitor to enquiry or sale.
- • Projects where WordPress, custom code, or a sensible mix needs deciding properly.
Probably Not The Right Fit
- • If the only goal is the absolute cheapest template regardless of quality or maintainability.
- • If the scope needs to be guessed rather than properly discussed.
- • If the plan is to keep every bad existing process and just paint over it.
Why People Trust The Process
- • Direct contact with the person doing the work, not an account-manager relay race.
- • Published project examples cover websites, apps and business systems.
- • WordPress when it makes sense, custom code when the business needs more control.
- • Clear scopes, realistic timelines, and a proper next step instead of brochure fog.
Useful questions
Data Recovery Specialist FAQs
What should I do first if a GoPro video or memory card is corrupted?
Stop recording, stop formatting and avoid repeated repair attempts. Keep the original card or drive unchanged, then ask for a triage route so the next copy or repair attempt is planned.
Can corrupted GoPro MP4 or MOV files be repaired?
Sometimes. If the video or audio data is still present, the file may be rebuilt or partially recovered. A short working clip from the same camera settings can help with some repairs.
Do you recover SD and microSD cards?
Yes, where the card is readable enough to image or scan safely. Deleted, formatted and corrupted media can often be checked, but physical chip damage or controller failure needs a different specialist route.
Do you recover files from SSDs and USB drives?
Yes, for logical recovery where the drive is still readable or partly readable. Clicking drives, severe hardware failure, liquid damage and chip level work are quoted separately through the right lab route.
How much does data recovery cost?
Initial triage starts from £49. GoPro and MP4 repair starts from £99. SD or microSD logical recovery starts from £149. SSD or USB logical recovery starts from £249. Physical recovery and specialist lab work are quoted separately.
