You will receive a personal consultation for each piece we frame for you. Your bespoke framing is made to measure and to your precise instructions, always to conservation or museum standard as required.

We can advise you on:

frame material, colour and finish, whether you have

glass (standard or anti-reflective or museum grade) or acrylic (perspex) glazing, or a

tray or open frame without glass for a canvas, whether

you’d like your frame black, white, gold, silver or coloured, or a natural wood, which could be raw, stained, waxed, gilded or hand-painted, whether

you need a mount, a slip or a spacer, and if a mount what kind of mount, or

what hanging system best suits the piece; and

we can stretch your art on canvas for you, after which you can decide to have it framed, or hang it unframed.

Please be aware that if you buy frames from non-specialist online or physical retailers they are unlikely to be made with conservation materials and can often be of inferior quality. Over time they can also cause damage to what you frame in them.

We frame almost anything on paper, canvas or board; it could be an oil painting, an acrylic, watercolour or charcoal, a work in pencil, crayon or pastel, a linocut, lithograph, print, poster, certificate or photograph; it could be a sports shirt, tapestry, scarf, some sports or military medals, or other memorabilia; if you would like us to frame something you don’t see mentioned here, please ask us and we’ll do our best for you

We recognise the value of all the work we receive, whether it’s the financial value, or often more importantly, the emotional value to you, the customer. Our consultations with you are as detailed as possible. We do our best to ensure that you receive thoughtful considered service from us. All our materials are to conservation or museum standard as required. As importantly, we guarantee our work. If anything needs adjustment or repair after the event, we will always take our work back, and where appropriate, any such work is done on a complimentary basis.

Yes, we will make mirrors to measure for you in either plain or bevelled glass and in a variety of glass finishes, and can supply them framed or unframed.

Our normal turnaround is about four weeks; this gives us time to schedule your framing properly into our workflow, to order and receive materials, and to frame your piece properly.

We can often frame faster if necessary, particularly for a special occasion - birthday, anniversary, retirement, baptism or indeed a funeral. For us to accomplish this means we will offer you materials we have in stock or can order for next day delivery.

No, you are welcome to come and see us between 9am and 5pm any day from Monday to Saturday; we are usually closed on bank and public holidays; if you are bringing us new work, please try to come and see us by 4pm.

Every bespoke frame comes at a different price. We will always do our best to match the quality you need and the budget you have; framing prices start from about £50 and can go up from there; equally hand-painted frames and gilded frames cost more than normal as they require an enormous time of skilled work to complete them.

Yes, some of our customers, usually artists, ask us to supply specialist mount board and glass and acrylic cut to size for them to use in their own framing; we will usually endeavour to turn this work around for you in 24-48 hours

Yes, we print photographs for our customers; we also scan and duplicate photos and documents; we also print captions for use in framing, and get plaques made for shirts and other memorabilia; we print from A6 (105 × 148mm) to A3+ (329 × 483mm); we use a Canon Pro printer with Canon Pro ink and Canon Pro paper.

By the way, did you know that the A-series paper measurement uses an aspect ratio of 1∶√2, ? This means the paper can be folded in half and maintain the same proportions.

We operate a loyalty scheme where each purchase earns you future discounts, with rising levels of discount as you spend more, so you could achieve a continuing discount of up to 10% when you spend enough. We find this to be a fair way to offer significant discounts to our many loyal customers.

We require a minimum deposit of 50% of the cost of the work ordered from us, subject to a minimum deposit of £100 for any work costing more than £100. We also welcome payment in full when you order from us. If you need a fast turnaround, we require payment in full before we begin work.

We recycle as much of our waste as possible; we recycle all our waste glass - it is used in making new tableware or in industrial applications including road surfaces; we also recycle all our waste cardboard and paper, and all our recyclable plastic and metal waste; we estimate that about 80% of our waste is recycled; our waste contractor also uses HVO in their truck fleet, cutting emissions by 80-90% compared to standard diesel trucks.
