Neil’s work is nothing short of outstanding! My image was restored so well that it left me speechless and brought a tear to my eye to see my mum again. It’s rare to find this level of service and someone who cares, and I’ll be sending him many more of my treasured memories.

How long will it take?
Most restorations for single images can be done within 24 hours. If you ordered any prints these will be ordered when the proof has been approved and payment received. They take around 7 working days from the professional print lab.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
I offer all my clients a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Should your restored photo(s) not match your expectations, I will work with you to fix any issues until you are 100% happy. In the rare event that I am not able to meet your requirements, you will not be charged for the work.
I do evaluate all requests before undertaking any work and reserve the right to refuse a project if I feel that I will be unable to achieve a satisfactory result.
In these cases, if you have provided me with original prints or negatives, all that I ask is that you cover the cost of returning your originals to you via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
Do you change the original photos?
No I never harm or alter your original photos, I use professional software, including up-to-date tools, and I ensure your original details are never altered.
Can I review my restored photo(s) before I pay?
Once your photo has been restored, an e-mail with a low-resolution watermarked “digital proof” will be sent for you to validate. If you are happy with the result, I will send you an invoice and payment instructions.
Do you accept orders from outside the UK?
I am happy to accept orders from around the world. However, due to the cost, risk, and potential delays associated with international postage services, I recommend that you do NOT send precious original prints by postal mail if you live outside of the UK. Instead, please obtain a high-resolution scan of your original photo and send the file to me by e-mail.
Consult our detailed scanning guide for instructions on how to scan your image properly for best results.
How do I scan my photos for restoration?
Scanning your originals is an important first step in the photo restoration process.
Refer to our 7-step scanning guide to ensure the best results. If you do not own a scanner then it is advisable to post your original photo to us. We’ll make a scan for you for the best possible restoration.
How fast can I get my photo restored?
For the fastest photo restoration, a digital file can be restored within 12 hours, or even the same day, depending on my workload. For an extra fast restore, you can pay a FastTrack fee of £15 to jump ahead of the queue.
