I need a custom picture frame made, but I have no idea where to go without it costing an absolute fortune.

Any ideas?! Anyone here do picture frames?

I'm in framing, we're in the south Manchester/Cheshire area. If that's no good for you then have you thought about using a ready made frame with a mount to make the image fit?

What size is the image? What style of frame did you have in mind?

Well, it is Manchester wink

Surely, that is what the postal services are for?!

Would you mind if I sent you an email with details?? Where is best??

TBH we only do bespoke work for people who come in as it's a bit tricky to select moulding, mountboard etc remotely. You might be better off using a local framer, but PM me and I'll see what I can suggest smile

This may sound daft but take a look at your local market, there may be someone on there who makes frames. There are 2 guys on our local market that do picture frames.

I'd agree with that. There's a chap on the market in Melton Mowbray who does framing and he's bloody good and well priced too.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will investigate all those avenues.

I'm just outside of Slough (please note, not in Slough, but just outside!!).
