A friend of mine has lost a very important file. The computer was playing up so theyv used some kind of system rescue disc... short story the computer has been formatted and then windows + other programs reinstalled. Personally i thought once written over once its pretty impossible to retrieve? Would a specialist company b able to do anything? Thanks for any help with my first post.

It sounds like it pretty much long gone, and even if a company could get it back, it would cost alot of money.
There are data recovery softwares as well as tech services offering retrieval of lost data. But it will depend on how much of the file can be rescued. There are several links to look over here.

The list of services and softwares goes on. Some utilities are for recovering any files lost or deleted when partition is damaged on a current installation. The data recovery services are usually better prepared for reformatted drives.
