Record Nº 006 · from £25

Photo & Document Care

The small services that support every family story: photographs rescued from fading and damage, and the certificates your research needs, sourced correctly the first time.

What I’ll research

  • Photo restoration: tears, fading, foxing and creases repaired (£35 per photograph)
  • Sensitive colourisation, if and only if you want it
  • Birth, marriage and death certificates ordered from the GRO (£25 plus certificate cost)
  • Advice on storing and digitising what you hold

What you receive

  • High-resolution restored images, plus print-ready files
  • Originals returned untouched — all work is digital
  • Certificates delivered with a note on what they tell you

Questions families ask

Is my photograph too damaged?

Send me a phone snap of it and I’ll tell you straight — most things are recoverable to a degree that surprises people. No charge to ask.

Why use you rather than ordering certificates myself?

You absolutely can order from the GRO yourself, and my free guide shows you how. People use this service to be sure they’re ordering the right certificate — the wrong John Smith costs more than the £25 saved.

Not sure where to start?

Fifteen minutes on the phone will tell you what’s possible. Free, no obligation, no sales pitch.
