Why I started VHS Transfer Exeter

After seeing how many families had tapes tucked away in lofts, garages and cupboards, I wanted to create a genuinely local service that handled them with proper care.

What started as helping friends and family grew into VHS Transfer Exeter, helping families across Devon and the UK bring old memories back to life for future generations.

Questions before you order?

How delivery and postage works

After you start your order, I’ll email the address and simple instructions. You can either deliver your tapes to me in Exeter or send them by Royal Mail Tracked.

What HD Restoration & Enhancement can do

HD Restoration & Enhancement is £10 per compatible video tape. Specialist software enhances the footage frame by frame, followed by manual optimisation to improve clarity, colour, motion and audio while keeping the result natural and faithful to the original recording. Results vary by source quality and severe damage or missing footage cannot be recreated.

Why isn’t the full address shown on the website?

Because this is a careful home-based local service, the delivery/postal address is sent privately by email once you start your order. This keeps the process secure while still making it simple to get your tapes to me.

FAQs
