What to tell us when you enquire

Send what you can. We’ll ask about anything else we need.

  • The format of each tape, reel, disc or device. If you’re not sure, describe it and we’ll help identify it.

  • Roughly how many tapes, reels or devices you have.

  • Any visible damage, mould or signs of poor storage.

  • For a drive, card or LTO tape: what happened and which files you need back.

  • For equipment: the make and model, and the fault you’ve noticed.

  • How you’ll use the result, if you know. You don’t need to choose a resolution or file format; we’ll suggest options when we quote.
