Great and helpful advice, sadly the job ended up being too expensive for me to progress, but a note - watch out for the rather lovely but lively pup, I came home with a hole in my jumper

Have taken several paintings to be framed here and have always been very impressed by the service from the staff and the quality of the framing. The prices are extremely competitive. I wouldn't go anywhere else now.
