Our Refurbishment Process

Complete Diagnosis

All devices go through our thorough diagnostic testing process, which identifies any hardware issues that may need to be addressed. During this testing process, if we discover any faulty components, then these are replaced with new or used original parts to ensure that the device is in excellent working condition.

Blancco Data Wipe

We use Blancco products to deliver a tamper-proof audit trail that certifies the destruction of sensitive information while leaving the hard drive or mobile device reusable.

Software Installation

We understand the importance of having a computer that is ready to use right out of the box. That's why we install the latest operating system, to make sure the refurbished device will operate and function correctly. We use only official versions of operating systems, that are provided directly by the software developer.

Our Refurbishment Process

All of our devices go through our rigorous refurbishment process prior to dispatch. There are several procedures that we’ve put in place to ensure the best possible quality for our customers. We have created a simple list detailing our refurbishing process below.

Refurb Rebel prioritise privacy by thoroughly wiping all previous user data from the hard drive of the device before any refurbishing can commence. We use world leading data sanitisation brand Blancco. We use their products to deliver a tamper-proof audit trail that certifies the destruction of sensitive information while leaving the hard drive or mobile device reusable. In simple terms, this means that the hard drive has no traces of the previous data.
