They're in Sheffield on the Holbrook Industrial estate according to their FB page
Did you speak to them about the streaks and marks? I've used them in the past and they were fine but I prefer peaks service.CC Image is in Leeds, They are quite good too but last time i tested them my negatives were full of marks and streaks!
Peak is in Sheffield!
I have entire 35mm Minilab setup at home i think its only matter of time when my 120 scanner arrives
Still waiting for my Ilford film to be processed. They have had it in the lab since last Wednesday. Very slow compared to Filmdev.
Where did you send it?
Ilford's own lab in Cheshire. They do proper dip and dunk for black and white so I tend to send ilford black and white films there. Included postage there with a freepost label so it's very easy but a bit slower than some of the others. They don't charge extra for black and white either so for odd rolls it can be cheaper than quite a few other places. Quality is good too.
aha perhaps they could be busy as alot of b&W shooters look for dip n dunk stuff. C41s is also based in cheshire have you tried them?
I want to send some 35mm negs off to be scanned well.
I'm happy to pay <£5 per neg, but don't really want to pay ~£10 a lot of places charge.
Anyone have any recommendations? It's black and white film (if that makes a difference).
Perhaps I should just print in the darkroom and scan the prints on a flatbed.

I normally develop my c41 at home, otherday i was in rush and stopped by Max Spiellmann huddersfield, they used to be very good but sadly they screwed 7 out of 7 rolls i had left for developing!!!! Watch out!
Just a heads up for @excalibur2 and others in the West London area, the newish Asda in Hounslow still has its film processing machine, the Photo-me desk is not stafffed Wednesday Thursday or Sunday but open 9-6 I think on other days.
As far as I know it's still £2 for process only or £4 for process and scan, don't know how long it will remain but hopefully it'll keep going for a while yet.
We have just sent off a roll of Jan's shots to Film Dev..... Extremely impressed. Sent at 17.30 yesterday and the scans were ready for download 24 hours later, so well done to the Post Office as well.
We had the medium scans which are ample at 5 to 6 mb and requested no sharpening, again very impressed, lovely clean scans with excellent colours. All round a top service that I shall be using again.
It has highlighted that one of the weak links in my photography (as well as my photography itself ) is either my developing or my scanning so I shall be scanning in the negatives when they arrive as a comparison.
Hi Steven,Hi, new here so please be gentle. I found this thread after googling for recommended film processing in the UK. There seems to be a lot of love for FilmDev but it's not clear to me from their website/order form if they can also provide prints? I'd be sending them B&W (not C-41) for developing/scans but would prefer prints as well, nothing fancy just 6x4s. If they don't, where is my next best bet? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I'd totally forgotten I could get the scans printed locally! Doh! I think with all the positives that Filmdev get on here that I'll give them a try first, and maybe try some of the others later on.
I have been really happy with DS Colour Labs for printing my film photographs. You just upload the film scans from your home computer and they usually come through the door the next day.
Thanks. Their prices certainly look good. I'd been using Peak-Imaging for the occasional print from digital that I'd decided warranted a "hard-copy", I've been happy enough with them but they are more expensive than DS Colour Labs.
On the down side I have checked a used 35mm spool in the Royal Mail size guide and it does not fit at all even with no envelope. It has to be able to drop straight through without pushing and it doesn't. Annoyingly neither does a 120 spool unless you have it slightly sideways. The PO people often just push it half way through so think it's ok and it isn't as the spools just get pushed to the bottom of the envelope.
I think as many of us as possible should email RM and ask for a special light size ie under 100g and no more than A5 which is allowed to be a few mm fatter for that 96p or similar cost. £3 a pop is just daft money for something that is so light but just such a tiny amount over the 25mm.
