IT asset recovery · Data destruction · Oxfordshire
Your old laptops are a liability. We turn them back into an asset.
We collect across Oxfordshire and the counties around it. Every drive sanitised to recognised standards, a certificate for every drive, and whatever still has value credited back to you instead of paid to a skip. Collection is free where the resale value in the load covers it.
- ICO registered
- NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1
- HMG Infosec Standard 5
These are the standards we work to, not certifications we hold.
What we do
Two services that work as one. Most clients use both.
- Service 01
IT asset recovery
Collection across Oxfordshire, free where resale value covers it. Certified erasure, full audit trail, and value back on anything sellable.
- Service 02
Certified data destruction
Erasure to NIST 800-88 and HMG IS5, verified by read-back, with a certificate for every drive.
How it works
Four steps, and you have a defensible audit trail at the end of it.
- 01
Book a collection
Tell us roughly what you have and where. We confirm a slot, usually within a few days, and we work around your hours, not ours.
- 02
We collect
Everything is counted, logged by serial number, and signed for on the spot. You keep a copy of the manifest before the van leaves.
- 03
Data destroyed
Drives are sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 and verified by read-back. Anything that can't be sanitised is physically destroyed.
- 04
Certified and settled
You get a Certificate of Data Erasure for every drive, referenced to your manifest. Resaleable kit is valued and credited back; the rest is recycled under the WEEE Regulations.
Who we work with
Different sectors carry different obligations. These pages set out what each one has to evidence, and how we help you evidence it.
- Education
Refresh cycles, safeguarding data, and budgets that need the money back.
Term-time collections, safeguarding-aware erasure, and resale value back into the budget.
- Legal
Client confidentiality does not end when the laptop does.
Chain of custody, a certificate per drive, and documentation your COLP can actually file.
- Healthcare
Patient data is special category data. Treat the hardware accordingly.
Special category data handled properly, with certificates that stand up in your DSPT evidence pack.
- Corporate
Refreshes, relocations, and the kit that quietly left the asset register.
Refreshes, office moves, and legacy clear-outs — collected, erased, documented, credited.
