There's onsite parking which they share with the other businesses on the industrial estate, so you may have to squeeze in next to cars waiting for MOTs. Inside, it's nothing like a shop. You'll squeeze down a corridor lined with other people's orders waiting to be collected, all neatly wrapped up in bubble wrap. Above these orders are samples of the types of frames they work with - everything is made-to-measure, and you can choose the mount and frame to match your taste and budget. These guys can turn around frames in quite short notice - like 48 hours! - but be warned, because of their religion they are closed for quite a bit of Friday when they attend mosque. Which is fine, as long as you remember and plan for it! (We once sat in the carpark on a Friday for quite a while waiting for them to get back... oops!)

Frame It is a picture framing shop based at the bottom of Bearwood high street (near The Bear…read moreTavern) which offers a bespoke framing service at really affordable prices. Perhaps most notably of all it provides a 'while you wait' service during quieter times and the owner will helpfully text you when items are ready for collection. They also sell a number of pre-framed pictures and full length mirrors. It's a fairly eccentric lot, comprising of moody black and white shots of Frank Sinatra, Elvis and others as well as landscapes and still lives. However, if you need an item framed and framed for a reasonable price that this really is the best place nearby.

I cannot speak highly enough about Park View Gallery! Over a…read morefew years I have had a number of pictures framed by Roger and have always been thrilled with the results. He instinctively knows which colours and frames will be best for your picture and, while he offers advice, he never puts pressure to influence your choice. He is always welcoming and helpful and I look forward to my visits. I am amazed at how his frames enhance what I have produced. It's hard to beat having your work professionally framed by someone with Roger's skill and expertise. It's worth every penny! I have just left two more pictures for him and can't wait to go and pick them up in a couple of weeks time!

My family have used Park View for a couple of hanging and framing jobs and even had a piece of jewellery mounted, which highlighting Roger's versatility. At the most recent exhibition the work of Jon Jones, a portrait painter was shown and was in fact the artists first solo exhibition since 2008 and his first in Birmingham for four years. His work was striking and gave a real sense of the lives of his subjects. Park View is expanding with a cafe planned by owner Roger, so if you have never visited then there's all the more reason to do so.

I have had a number of prints framed and they offer a wide range of different woods and materials for you to choose from. I also found their service to be quick.-Approx. a week for my items.

The print is a thing of beauty, and the framing matches it perfectly - but the only downside I would say is that these guys charge a LOT for framing. Some of what I need to do in my business is have things framed, and I've been forced to shop around to try and find the perfect balance between cost and quality. These guys definitely deliver on quality, but the cost is way too high for me.

Yes there are prints and original art pieces, but it's fundamentally a framing service with great bespoke offerings. There is initially a baffling choice, but that's no bad thing given the helpfulness of staff and prices more reasonable than expected. I'm a bit precious with my cinema prints, some of which are collectible and vintage, but this place fits the bill (posters). The end product was enough to have me considering whether to blow up favourite photographs and have some borders made for them for display. As service goes, that's not a bad way round of doing things: rather than buying frames for my stuff, I'm buying stuff for their frames. They must have seen me coming.

Business stationary, letter heads, business cards and flyers all at very reasonable cost. I am considering using there service to print a photograph onto canvass, they offer sizes up to 44 x 72 inch, that's big!
