Secure Hard Drive Destruction & Disposal Services (UK)
We provide certified, irreversible destruction of hard drives via shredding, crushing, or degaussing. Fully compliant, chain-of-custody tracked, and backed by a Certificate of Destruction.
Why Choose Physical Destruction
Physical destruction is the most secure way to eliminate data. Unlike software erasure, it ensures that no advanced recovery tools can reconstruct your sensitive information.
- Guarantees zero chance of data recovery, even with forensic tools.
- Meets strict regulatory and audit requirements for data disposal.
- Provides peace of mind with verified, physical device destruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are All the Answers to your Common Queries.
What is the difference between shredding and degaussing?
Shredding physically segments drives; degaussing scrambles magnetic data before crushing.
Can I witness the destruction?
Yes — on-site shredding lets you observe the process in real time.
Do I get a certificate after destruction?
Absolutely — every destroyed drive comes with a Certificate of Destruction.
How do you ensure chain of custody?
Devices are tracked using unique IDs from collection through to destruction reporting.
