How much does it cost to develop film in the uk

While the price of everything seems to be going up, our professional quality colour film developing is just £6 + vat if you need negatives only, or £15 + vat if you need it scanning too. We’re open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm if you’d like to visit us in person, or simply send us your film with instructions, our contact details and postal address can be found here

We also offer processing with contact sheets and professional darkroom hand printing directly from your negatives and our full price list can be found here

Should I use a cheaper company?

Smaller or cheaper companies will use a processing method called ‘Roller Transport” which means that your film is attached to a plastic leader and then dragged from one tank of chemicals to the next through a series of rollers, which can lead to scratches on your negatives. Our service, called “Dip & Dunk” effectively means your film is looped over a hanger, which is then lifted from tank to tank meaning that the film surface doesn’t pass over anything.
