Our
Services
Do call by to see us, or phone us, for a chat about your project. We very much enjoy the huge variety of material that is brought to us for framing and presentation; being quite happy to deal with a child's first artwork or the family photos; but equally working with living artists to produce conservation framing up to museum standards….and we maintain very competitive prices.
We have an open door to anyone who wishes to present and preserve anything of importance to them.
All work is done on our premises in Hampton Hill.
Picture frames.
We have a very large selection of picture frame mouldings in stock, and any special requirements outside that we don't hold can be obtained within a week. To add to your choice, we have over 30 plain wood mouldings that can be painted in any of 35 colours, plus an extensive range of coloured aluminium mouldings.

Mount cutting.
Our very extensive range of mountboard colours are all acid-free. For a traditional look for watercolours, we can add washlines, gold and silver lines, and v-grooves.

Glass.
As well as the traditional 2mm picture glass, we stock a selection of superior glasses for UV protection to stop fading; and a fascinating state-of-the-art non-reflective glass. For safety or to reduce the weight of large frames, we can easily incorporate Perspex, rather than normal glass, and this also is available with UV protection and a non-reflective coating.

Mounting.
With our cold-press mounting system we can take the creases and wrinkles out of your favourite old posters. For a modern frameless look we can mount your prints or photographs on to Dibond and other supports, laminate, and face-mount on to perspex.

Poured acrylic resin.
Of recent development and growing popularity, poured resin can be used over any medium to give a distinctive high-gloss glassy finish. Usually presented unframed, we can professionally apply this method to your artwork.
