Services
Custom Framing
We create bespoke frames to match your artwork's style and protection needs. Using premium materials and advanced techniques, our frames enhance visual appeal while ensuring long-term preservation. Clients choose from hundreds of mouldings, finishes, and glazing options.
Conservation Framing
Specialist conservation framing protects valuable artworks using acid-free materials and UV-filtering glass. This service prevents deterioration from light, humidity, and pollutants. Ideal for photographs, heirlooms, and limited edition prints requiring archival standards.
Canvas Stretching
Our canvas stretching service secures artwork onto durable wooden stretchers, preventing sagging or warping. Available in multiple depths and profiles, this solution suits both contemporary pieces and traditional paintings needing structural support.
Computerised Mount Cutting
Advanced computer-guided cutters produce intricate mount designs with exacting accuracy. This technology enables complex multi-aperture layouts and decorative edges unachievable through manual methods, enhancing presentation quality.
Box Framing
Box frames create shadow-effect displays for objects, textiles, or memorabilia. Custom-built to accommodate varying depths, these frames protect delicate items like football shirts, cross-stitch, or papyrus while adding dimensional visual interest.

I've been using this business for over 30 years. I remember when they had the hughe shop on the High Street. I can't recommend it highly enough. The owner is as helpful as ever, the service professional and the quality of work is second to none. I would thoroughly recommend this business.

The quality of the frames themselves are pretty good, although 140 for two simple black frames was pricey I thought. The price I was willing to pay, but the guys in the shop had a strange energy about them. It seemed like serving to them was a bit of a chore, and in a time when money is low during a pandemic I would expect at least a simple thank you when collecting and parting with such a large sum supporting local business.
Manners go a long way!
