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!)

Earlier this year, Richard's Framing helped me choose colours for the mounting and framing of two…read moreprecious black and white, A4 size photographs of my daughter when she was a small child and her father at the same age. I was very pleased and they are now on the wall in her home and look perfect. Recently, while creating a collage for a funeral wake, I didn't want to buy an easel - because I probably won't use it again - and wracked my brains for an alternative to acquiring one temporarily. Suddenly, Richard's Framing popped into my head so I telephoned the shop. No problem, he had an easel and I hired it from him for just £5. Marvellous, no fuss. Thank you, Richard's Framing.
