We’re a picture framing company based in the North West of England, specifically Stockport, Cheshire.
We focus on custom made picture frames, and advise on the best framing set-up for your art – in terms of your budget, ideal style and conservation requirements.

Some of our specialist picture framing services include:
- Framing Football Shirts
- Framing Photos
- Framing Multiple Items In One Frame
- Extra Large Frames
- Museum Standard Framing For Art Preservation
- Printing, Stretching and Framing Canvas
- Stretching and Framing Cross-stitches

Picture Framing Gallery
We have a retail picture framing gallery in Hazel Grove, Stockport.
This is where we showcase our choice of framing moldings and examples of prints, certificates and memorabilia framed in different ways.
Our framers will help you choose the best colours, sizes, layouts, frames and glass to suit your work.
Wholesale Picture Framing Service
We also offer a wholesale framing service for photographers and gallery owners.
Pick-up and delivery can be arranged, and your frames will be presented in a custom made box to protect from damage during transit.
Have a browse around to see some of our framing examples, or contact us if you have any questions.
Along with picture framing, we also offer a mount cutting service.
We use a computerised mount cutter, so our finished mounts are extremely accurate, with neat corners, and finished in the fraction of the time hand cut mounts take.
We can design and cut mounts to fit your items, and can cut lettering or decorative shapes.
And, as much of the time is concentrated in the design stage – we can offer discounts on subsequent copies or bulk orders.
We use acid free mount board in a huge range of colours, and can post your mount if you are too far to pop in.
Here are some examples of mounts we have designed:
Mount with letters cut out
Stars cut out around mount aperture
Mounted record
Design cut out of mount corners
Ribbon cut out of mount
Mounted LP
Flower cut out of mount
Mount cut in deep box frame
We’re now offering our customers a printing service.
This is great news for photographers who want to offer the complete package without the investment and upkeep of specialist printing, framing or box making equiptment.
We’re offering printing on canvas or professional photographic paper to our retail customers too, so even if you just fancy a one off item for your bedroom wall, you can take advantage of this great service too.
We’re really pleased that 60 Minute Makeover will be featuring our picture frames on their show this month.
The framed prints will be included in the show from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire which was recorded earlier this year. The show is on Tuesday 22nd September 2009 at 2pm on ITV1. Read the rest of this entry »
I know nothing about football here, but I’m assuming that this is the Rangers home and away strip:
Rangers Football Shirt Framed
Christy has spliced the mount card to create the diagonal white/red effect which matches the shirt here, and cut out the team name letters.
Rangers Football Shirt Framed
Here, she has cut out the stars to match the Rangers badge, and again cut out the team letters from the mount.
Both shirts have been stretched and padded over a card cutout.

We’ve recently done some work for a wedding photographer in Stockport who offers a customised service, and one of his special services is a wedding signature print. This is a personalised arrangement of a favourite wedding photo, framed with a large white or cream mount where your guests can sign their name and a personal message for the new married couple.
Here’s an example of one of the signature prints:

Ben Framing A Large Canvas Print
We’ve framed some very large pieces of artwork recently. Sometimes it takes two people to put the frame together.
We’ll also use oversize glass, mountboard and backing board for some items.
You can see Ben here stretching a large canvas that he is about to frame.
Gunnar Computerised Mount Cutter
The next Fine Art Trade Guild meeting for the North West will be on 2nd April 2009.
We’re happy to confirm that Sally from Gunnar will be giving a presentation on cutting mounts.
We will also be voting on the Fine Art Trade Guild North West Awards, if you’ve not prepared something already, then best be quick!
If you would like to attend, please contact us for further details.
Christy is an award winning framer, winner of first and third prize at the Fine Art Trade Guild awards in the North West 2008. She’s also very creative, and thinks up wonderful solutions for framing unusual or awkwardly shaped items.
I was in the workshop and took some photos of her as she worked. She hated me doing this!
She’s here working on an album and a set of music related memorabilia. By this point she had already programmed the mount cutter and cut out the mounts.
