What is IT asset recovery?
Turning surplus business IT into cash. TFix offers an instant cash offer paid within 48 hours of inspection, or a transparent profit-share paid monthly as assets sell — with every device data-sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 before resale.
Last reviewed: 6 May 2026

Surplus IT loses resale value the longer it sits in a cupboard — and data-bearing devices stay a liability until they’re wiped. Recovery done right pays you back and removes the risk in one pass.
We tailor our service to your financial priorities.
Ideal For:
Companies needing quick clearance, closing quarterly budgets, or immediate cash flow.
Ideal For:
Maximising financial return on high-value assets where time is less critical.

Every refurbished device is condition-graded before listing, so you can see exactly how a payout was reached rather than a black-box valuation.
| Grade | Condition |
|---|---|
| R-A: Excellent | Screen perfect, no dents or chips, no visible scratches at arm's length, clean keyboard and palm rest, battery health 85% or higher. |
| R-B: Very Good | Light scratches or scuffs, minor keyboard shine allowed, no structural damage, battery health 75% or higher. |
| R-C: Good / Used | Visible cosmetic wear, small dents allowed, non-intrusive screen marks, battery health 60% or higher. |
| R-D: Fair / Heavy Wear | Heavy scratches, dents or paint loss, screen pressure marks, battery health below 60% or weak. |
Grading determines the resale price used in your Dynamic Price Logs and Transparent Splits above.
We handle the logistics, security, and resale. You collect the revenue.
We arrange fully tracked, licensed transport to collect assets directly from your facility. Secure, tamper-evident packaging is provided — nothing required on your end.
Every drive is wiped to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 standards immediately on arrival. Data Destruction Certificates are issued before any item is resold or donated.
All customer IP is eliminated before resale. Asset tags and stickers are removed, MDM/DEP profiles unenrolled, accounts unlinked, and every device restored to factory default state.
Assets are cosmetically graded and functionally tested. Operational fees (logistics & sanitisation) are transparently deducted to establish the final Net Value.

Key details about our Instant Buyback and Profit Sharing models.
We assess most professional IT equipment, including office endpoints, data-centre infrastructure, networking hardware, and mobile estates. If an asset has resale, reuse, or parts value, we can evaluate it.
Timelines depend on your model. Instant Buyback is typically paid within 48 hours of inspection. Profit Share is paid monthly as assets are sold.
Yes. Certified data sanitisation or destruction is completed before any resale activity. Processing aligns to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 and GDPR controls with serial-level certification. See Certified Data Destruction for the full workflow.
No upfront fees apply where asset value covers service costs. Where value does not cover logistics or sanitisation, standard rates apply. See our WEEE Collection and Data Destruction pricing.
We use a structured repricing cycle to align with market demand. If an item is ultimately non-viable for resale, it is routed to compliant WEEE recycling with full documentation.
There is no strict minimum. Profit Share is usually best for palletised or higher-value lots; for smaller mixed loads, Instant Buyback is often the faster route.

Standards we work to
We can supply our registrations, insurance certificates, and sample destruction outputs as part of your supplier due diligence.
Not for scrap-only disposal
If assets have no resale path or the brief requires immediate destruction only, use Certified Data Destruction or WEEE Recycling.
Not every asset merits profit share
Lower-value mixed estates may be better suited to instant buyback or a recycling-led route once testing, grading, and logistics are factored in.
Best when reporting matters as much as yield
This page is strongest for teams that want valuation logic, audit-ready tracking, and a clear record of what was recovered, recycled, or destroyed.
Use the UK WEEE & Carbon Savings Calculator to frame the environmental benefit of recycling and downstream handling before finalising your recovery route.
