The people behind the lab

The people who recover your data

Most data recovery companies are a phone number and a promise. This page tells you who actually opens your drive, how long they have been doing it, and where they do it β€” because you are about to hand over something you cannot replace.

⚑ Quick answer

CBL Data Recovery (S) Pte Ltd is a Singapore data recovery laboratory operating for 20+ years, with an in-house in-house cleanroom at 6 Harper Road, beside Tai Seng MRT. Recoveries are carried out on our own premises by our own technicians β€” nothing is shipped overseas. Our senior technicians between them hold over 30 years of hands-on repair experience.

Our team

Who actually works on your device

A small team, deliberately. The person who diagnoses your drive is usually the person who recovers it, and you can ask to speak to them.

You do not have to take our word for who works here. Customers name our staff directly in their public Google reviews β€” these are their words, not ours.

Anyone can claim expertise. Very few data recovery companies can point at public reviews where customers name the individual technician who did the work. Read them all on our case studies and reviews page.

The facility

An in-house lab, not a forwarding address

A large share of “data recovery companies” in Singapore are resellers. They take your drive, courier it to a third party β€” sometimes overseas β€” and add a margin. We are the lab.

  • Our own in-house cleanroom, on our own premises. Drives are opened here at 6 Harper Road. Nothing is shipped overseas.
  • Donor parts held in-house. Head-stack replacements need a matching donor of the same model and firmware revision. We keep stock rather than waiting on a supplier.
  • Board-level and component-level capability. PCB repair, firmware work and micro-soldering are done by our own technicians.
  • You verify before you pay. We show you the recovered file list, and you confirm your data is there before any payment is taken.
⚠️ A fair question to ask any lab

“Do you open drives on these premises, or do you send them somewhere else?” If a company cannot answer that plainly, you are talking to a reseller. Ask us and the answer is: here, in this building.

Can I speak to the technician working on my case?+
Yes. We are a small team, so the person who diagnosed your device is usually the person recovering it. Ask when you call and we will put you through rather than reading you a script.
