Excellent IT Disposal Experience
I chose Restore Datashred Limited to dispose of two network switches, and the entire process was seamless. They arranged a convenient door-to-door pickup, and after the disposal, they provided a disposal certificate for my records.
The service was professional, efficient, and hassle-free from start to finish. I highly recommend Restore Datashred Limited to anyone looking for a secure and reliable IT disposal service.

Good customer experience
The range of items available for collections is great for businesses and the cost is reasonable. The collection date had to be rearranged as the drivers were arriving a day or so earlier than planned. The day of collection, the driver collected all the items really swiftly. Kate H in the logistics team was really helpful with both invoice queries, collections and any other general queries i had.

I had very efficient Customer Service from Kerry Turner on Thursday. She went above and beyond and made sure the issue that I had and no one else had sorted out for me, was dealt with efficiently without it carrying on. Kerry thank you, you are a very polite, bubbly person who deserves recognition for doing a fantastic job.

An excellent service
An excellent service. As our office is closing we have many confidential waste sacks to be collected and Restore have been flexible and supportive. We requested extra collections and these were actioned quickly.
Restore have been a massive help in our final weeks. Special shout out to Daisy Bond, their Internal Sales Executive for her awesome communication and response times!
And of course in keeping with their high standards of service and support, I received a lovely reply to this review wishing our office good luck.
