scanning and restoration
bring old memories back to life
Whether it's slides collecting dust in a drawer, faded family photos, or images that just need a little touch-up, we help preserve and revive your memories using careful scanning and restoration techniques. Once digitised, your photos are ready to be shared, printed, or framed for years to come.
your precious memories deserve to be seen again
don’t wait any longer…
You've got old photos, slides or film tucked away in a box, fading a little more each year, or maybe a photo has visible damage, creases, tears, water spots, and you'd love to see it whole again. Or perhaps it's an important document, a degree, certificate, or family tree, that deserves a safe, digital copy. However your memories or important papers have been kept, they deserve better than sitting forgotten in a drawer.
Once scanned, your memories are safely preserved and easy to share with family wherever they are, ready to print, frame, or simply pass down to the next generation. No more risking the originals fading beyond recognition, or a box that quietly gets lost, damaged, or thrown out one day.

“We had over 1000 slides that needed to be scanned so we could keep them for generations. The girls did an amazing job with them. We have had a good laugh at some of them, photos we didn’t know existed.”

frequently asked questions
-
A raw scan creates a high-quality digital copy of your photo, slide or film, with basic colour correction and dust removal included. Light retouching and moderate restoration go a step further, repairing fading, creases, tears or water damage, depending on what your photo needs.
-
Not at all! We're happy to scan a single photo or a whole box of slides, whatever you bring in.
-
Yes, alongside photos, slides and film, we can scan works on paper and artworks, priced the same as our photo scanning services. Bring yours in and we'll talk you through the options.
-
Of course. Once your images are scanned, we can print them on fine art paper and custom frame them, so your restored memory becomes a piece you can proudly display.
-
Turnaround depends on the number of slides, photos or film in your order. As a general guide, allow up to 2 weeks, though raw scan-only orders can often be completed much faster if you need them sooner.
-
No appointment necessary, walk-ins are always welcome during our opening hours.
