We take the utmost care of our customer's work, and frame all our work to the Fine Art Trade Guild's 5 Levels of Specifications, whether it be a simple photograph, certificate, a valuable piece of original artwork or fabric art.

We have one basic ethos:
‘Our main objective is to protect all artwork ~ framing comes afterwards’

We frame to the highest possible standards, using only the highest quality materials available. Our framing is mostly geared to 'Conservation Standards' as set out by the Fine Art Trade Guild. We offer a 'Custom' framing service, tailored to suit your decor. The 5 levels of framing are as follows, and are all explained to the customer when they arrive in our workshop:

q	Minimum - As the name suggests, framing to a minimum quality and budget. Only suitable for low value items. We do not frame at this level.

q	Budget Framing - For the budget conscious but not recommended for any items of value.

q	Commended Framing - For items of moderate commercial or sentimental value but using "standard or conservation" materials.

q	Conservation Framing - Our preferred level of workmanship. All techniques are reversible and use conservation grade materials to protect the artwork.

q	Museum Framing - The highest quality framing available but using expensive high grade materials for lifetime protection
