Deleting a file doesn't delete the data
Dragging files to the bin, or even reformatting a drive, leaves your data recoverable with tools anyone can download. For a business that means client records, card details and staff data sitting on hardware you no longer control, and under UK GDPR you're still responsible for it. Nerderase makes the data genuinely unrecoverable and gives you the paperwork to prove it.
What we handle
Secure data erasure
Software wiping to recognised standards for drives you're reusing or reselling: SATA, SAS, SCSI, USB, NVMe and self-encrypting drives.
Degaussing & shredding
For drives that must be physically destroyed, we degauss and shred so nothing can ever be read back.
Certificate of destruction
Every job comes with a certificate for your compliance and audit records. Proof, not just a promise.
Collection across London
We collect from your home or office. For sensitive jobs we can destroy drives on-site while you watch.
Responsible recycling
Over 80% of the hardware we take in is reused or recycled rather than sent to landfill.
All your old kit
Phones, laptops, PCs, servers, printers, networking gear, tablets, monitors, loose drives, even old tapes and discs. Single items or a full office clear-out.
Three ways we make data disappear
1. Wipe
Erased to a recognised standard, so the data's gone but the drive still works and can be reused or resold. Easiest on your budget and the planet.
2. Degauss
A powerful magnetic field destroys a magnetic drive's ability to hold data at all. For drives that must never be readable again.
3. Shred
Physically destroyed. Hard drives shredded, CDs and DVDs cut to 1mm chips, tapes granulated. Nothing left to recover.
Not sure which you need? We'll advise. And you choose in‑lab (bring or send it to our secure facility) or on‑site (we destroy it at your premises, so nothing sensitive ever leaves the building).
How it works

You get your certificate. Filed proof the data is gone, and the hardware recycled.
Common questions
Is the data really gone for good?
Yes. Wiped drives are erased to a recognised standard; drives we destroy are degaussed and physically shredded. Neither can be recovered afterwards.
Do you provide proof for compliance?
Every job comes with a certificate of destruction that lists each device by serial number, plus online reporting you can keep. The exact record you need for GDPR and internal audits.
Can you destroy drives while I watch?
For sensitive data we can carry out on-site destruction in London so the drives never leave your premises intact.
What happens to the hardware afterwards?
Whatever can be safely reused or recycled, is. That covers over 80% of it. The rest is disposed of responsibly, never fly-tipped.
Clearing out old kit? Let's make the data disappear properly.

Security and privacy are the biggest concern to technology users and organizations when getting rid of their old and redundant computer devices. Your confidential files and data can easily be mishandled when you dispose of your old devices and hard drives.
People don’t usually recognize that deleting files or formatting your PC or hard drive is not equivalent to data erasure or sanitization. When you delete a file from your computer or format your hard drive, the data (even though you can’t access it) can still be on the internal device storage. Therefore, you need a certified and expert data erasure service to ensure that all your confidential data is irrevocably destroyed, and recovery will never be an option.

Data erasure or wiping completely wipes the sensitive information of your device, but you can reuse the media after that. Degaussing also erases the data from your device but completely destroys the magnetic abilities of the media. Shredding physically destroys your device, making it recyclable but useless.
-
There are numerous methods of hard drive destruction. We can perform all basic destruction methods, depending on the customer’s requirements and the kind of data stored on the drive.
Nerderase leaves it totally on the customers to choose the method of erasure. Customers can either choose data erasure, degaussing, or shedding. Each technique is carried out by our skilled and fully trained team, and the equipment is collected in our secured vehicles. After destroying your hard drive, Nerderase issues a valid certificate of destruction to the customers and recycles or repurposes the destroyed hard drive.
As with the media tapes destruction, our team has options of shredding and degaussing. After destroying the media tapes, a valid certification is produced and issued to the customer. The destroyed tapes are then granulated for recycling.
The most reliable method for CD and DVD destruction is shredding. We use premium quality shredders that reduce the CDs and DVDs into small chips (1mm in size) to ensure the complete destruction of data. After the completion of the process, the case and paper are sent for recycling.
