Absolutely amazing work from Paul. Understood exactly what I was after and delivered 10 fold. I can not fault the quality and efficiency of the work, it is truly a beautiful piece to gift to my father for Christmas. Words can not express the gratitude felt, particularly as the back required more 'building' and Paul refused the offer of more money for the extra work! Paul and Helen have always been welcoming, honest and jovial, which is why I always go back. Thank you again.

I needed a bespoke job of mounting this years full UK currency in a frame for a gift. The result was outstanding. The coins seemed to be mounted as if they were floating and everything was positioned excellently, a very professional piece of work, well done.

I have had several pictures framed here. The service is excellent. I also had an oil painting cleaned - originally bought in East Berlin in the 60's. It had seen some action! It came back looking as if it had just been painted. I would highly recommend this shop.

I had an idea what I wanted and in discussion with them we came to a final design. When I went to collect it I was so impressed with the concept delivery and craftsmanship.

We have bought and had many pictures framed at the framing Centre. Just recently we have had an original all the way from Wales, very special to our hearts framed. They have done a stunning job. We are so pleased with the final outcome. The frame has really brought our picture to Life and we would have no hesitation in using them again. We have always had a very friendly, knowledgable and very good service. The picture will take pride of place in our living room. Nothing was too much trouble and the advice we received was excellent as always. Thank you for all your advice and help in deciding how
