Did you catch us on Channel 4 last night?

24 March 2026

You may have spotted our name in the credits if you watched Channel 4 on Saturday evening. Our colourisation work features in the new documentary series “The Race For Ancient Egypt in Colour.”

Photographs Forever

The programme explores the dramatic race between archaeologists to uncover Egypt’s ancient treasures between the World Wars, including discoveries such as Tutankhamun’s tomb. Using newly colourised archive footage and photographs, the series brings this remarkable period of exploration vividly to life.

We were delighted to contribute to the project and thoroughly enjoyed working on the colourisation of these fascinating historical images.

Looking Forward to Spring

Photographs Forever

As we move from winter into spring, many people find themselves turning their attention to things that have been safely set aside…

Old photographs often fall into this category. Carefully kept in albums, boxes or drawers, they remain important – even as time gradually takes its toll through fading, creases or surface damage.

High quality scanning and digital restoration allows these photographs to be properly stabilised and preserved, preventing further deterioration and ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

Whether it’s a family portrait, a childhood photograph, or an image you’ve simply been meaning to deal with for some time, we are always happy to assess suitability and advise on what may be possible.

Our approach remains careful and considered, with the aim of preserving the original character of the photograph while addressing damage that has developed over time.

If you have a photograph you’d like us to assess, simply send us a message and we’ll take it from there.

Enjoyed the Sun Lately? Your Photos Might Not Have…

Posted by Richard Haines on

18 November 2025

We’ve had a run of glorious sunshine last month – and while it’s changed a little this week, your photos are probably grateful for it!

Sunny weather might lift the spirits, but it’s not always so kind to precious photographs, especially if they’re on display…

Bright light and heat can quietly damage your photographs, especially those framed on walls or sitting near sunny windows. Over time, details fade, colours bleach out, and in some cases, images can disappear almost entirely.

So as things cool down a little for the winter, it might be the perfect moment to take a closer look at the photos you have on display. If they’re showing signs of fading or wear, now’s the time to act – before it really is too late.

We can help you preserve and restore what’s there, so your memories stay clear for years to come. A little sunlight can do a lot of damage. Let’s make sure your memories don’t get lost in the glow.

Still Got a School Photo on the Fridge?

Posted by Richard Haines on

11 November 2025

Many of us have those professional school photographs of our children out on display for many years.

The ones in the hallway. On the fridge. The ones you’ve kept tucked in a frame since they were five – even though they’re now twenty-five (or forty-five!).

These little portraits are more than just a smile on a backdrop. They quietly record the passing of time. And they’re often some of the most looked-at photos in the house.

So if you’ve got an old school photo that’s starting to fade, or one that deserves to be displayed properly, NOW is the best time to get them restored back to their original condition.

That Special Photo?

Posted by Richard Haines on

31 October 2025

Every family has those photos.
The ones everyone remembers. The ones that come out, again and again, at birthdays, anniversaries, get-togethers.

Maybe it’s one that makes everyone laugh.
Maybe it’s someone no longer here.
Maybe it’s just so unmistakably them, it’s become a kind of shorthand for your whole family.

We call these the “repeat favourites” – the photos that get talked about, passed around, printed for others, stuck to fridges, and pulled out of albums like old friends.

And if they’re looked at that often, they’re probably worth preserving properly.

If your favourite family photo is starting to fade, crack, or crease, we’d love to help you restore it so it lasts another lifetime.

Maybe not every photo needs restoring. But the ones we return to again and again?
Those are worth saving properly.

Once They’re Gone, They’re Gone. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

Posted by Richard Haines on

3 October 2025

We all assume we have time.

Time to organise those old family photos, to sort through boxes of memories, to finally get them digitised. But life gets busy – and sometimes, the unexpected happens.

A recent customer of ours had always meant to get her late mother’s photo collection scanned and restored. The photos, passed down through generations, sat safely in boxes – until a house fire broke out in the very room where they were stored. She is now searching through ashes and rubble, trying to salvage what little she can. Most of the photographs are likely to be beyond repair. The slides have melted. What was once a priceless family archive is now damaged forever.

This isn’t the first time we’ve been contacted by someone after a disaster – when they realise their irreplaceable photos have suffered significant damage. While we’ll always do our very best to help and salvage as much as we can in these situations, the truth is, the best time to act is before something like this happens.
