Data recovery in Grasse
Clicking hard drive, SSD not recognised, deleted files, a dropped computer: for Grasse, I collect your device at your home or you bring it to the workshop in Le Cannet. Honest diagnosis within 24 h, and you only pay if the recovery succeeds.
Data recovery calls for rigour and a controlled environment: I handle every case at the workshop, never in a rush at your home. For Grasse, I can come and collect your drive or computer, or you can bring it to me directly. People up in the hills (Magagnosc, Saint-Jacques) often find it easier to entrust me with the device to avoid several trips back and forth.
Three profiles come up regularly in Grasse: private individuals who have lost family photos (a fall, a slip of the hand), tradespeople and freelancers whose work drive has failed, and small businesses in the perfume or tourism sector with a project to rescue before a deadline. Every case has its own logic — I adapt.
Let's be clear: no serious professional guarantees a 100 % success rate before analysing the device. The rate depends on the nature of the fault (logical, mechanical, electronic), how old it is, and what was done beforehand. My commitment: diagnosis within 24 h and a firm quote before any work is carried out.

Frequently asked questions
My drive is making clicking noises, is that serious?expand_more
Yes, that is often a mechanical fault (read heads). Switch it off immediately and bring it in without turning it back on: every start-up causes further damage. The success rate stays reasonable if the intervention is quick.
I emptied the recycle bin by mistake, can it be recovered?expand_more
Yes in the vast majority of cases, as long as you haven't written any new data since. Stop using the computer and bring it in quickly: that is what maximises the chances.
Wouldn't a clean-room lab be more effective?expand_more
For 95 % of cases (logical fault, formatting, deletion, SSD controller), I recover the data at the workshop. For a severe mechanical fault requiring the platters to be opened in a clean room, I refer you to a partner lab (often €800-2000). I tell you honestly after diagnosis.
How long does the recovery take?expand_more
From 24 h for simple cases (deletion, quick format) to several days for large drives or complex SSDs. An estimate is given when the quote is issued.
Do you travel to Grasse to collect the equipment?expand_more
Yes, I can come and fetch your drive or computer. To speed things up, many people prefer to bring it straight to the workshop in Le Cannet, open Monday to Saturday.
