Framing & General Services

Do you offer picture framing in Lutterworth?

Yes — we offer bespoke picture framing in Lutterworth, tailored to your artwork, photographs, and memorabilia. Every frame is custom-made to suit your piece, using high-quality materials and professional finishing techniques.

Do you stretch canvases?

Yes — we provide a professional canvas stretching service. We regularly help customers who return from holidays with original artwork on canvas that needs to be professionally stretched and prepared for display.

With years of experience in canvas stretching, we can accommodate artwork of all sizes, ensuring your canvas is tensioned correctly and finished to a high standard. No size is too large or too challenging for us.

We also offer bespoke framing options for stretched canvases, helping you turn your artwork into a finished statement piece ready for display.

Can you frame sports shirts?

Yes — we specialise in bespoke sports shirt and memorabilia framing. From football shirts and medals to signed items and personal keepsakes, we carefully mount each piece using conservation-friendly techniques.

We then design a custom frame to complement your item and interior, creating a striking display piece suitable for home, office, or gifting.

Can you stretch and frame needlework or cross stitch?

Yes — we specialise in stretching and framing needlework, including cross stitch, embroidery, and tapestry pieces.

We use the traditional bootlacing method, a conservation-focused stretching technique that carefully tensions the fabric using strong cotton lacing on a pH-neutral backing board. This method ensures your work is evenly stretched without damaging the fibres or distorting the stitching.

This approach is widely respected in conservation framing because it avoids adhesives or invasive fixing methods, helping to preserve the integrity of your needlework for the long term.

Once stretched, your piece can be finished with a bespoke frame of your choice to create a beautiful, long-lasting display.

How much will my framing cost?

The cost of bespoke picture framing varies depending on frame style, mount options, glazing, and artwork size. With a wide range of mouldings available, we can work to different budgets while still achieving a high-quality finish.

We only use high-quality wooden frame mouldings and take pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every frame is made in our workshop to professional standards.

How long does it take to frame a picture?

We aim to complete most bespoke framing within two weeks from the time of order. Each piece is carefully prepared and made in our workshop to ensure the highest standard.

If you need a faster turnaround, we also offer an express framing service depending on stock availability.

My picture fell off the wall and the glass broke. Can you replace it?

Yes — we can replace broken framing glass and advise on the most suitable glazing for your artwork. We offer a range of options including standard glass, acrylic, and specialist conservation glass depending on your needs.

How do you protect my artwork?

We use pH-neutral, conservation-grade mountboards, tapes, and backing materials as standard for all original artwork. These archival materials help protect your work and reduce long-term deterioration.

We also offer specialist glazing options, including Art Glass with UV protection and anti-reflective properties, which helps preserve and enhance your artwork for years to come.
