Services
Whether you pretty much know what you want, and just need a bit of reassurance or you want to lean on us all the way, that's fine too. Either way the process is simple and enjoyable. So how does it work? We spend time together getting to know each other at our studio where you can park right outside.
Well-presented imagery is a complete joy, and a demonstration of your condence and value placed on it. We will enhance and add value to your artwork, whilst respecting the age, condition and value of your piece. Whilst artwork of all media remains the main stay of my business, we're increasingly being asked to present and frame a range of unusual items beyond "just artwork".
Bring out your individual and personal style. Supported by the industry's leading suppliers we have access to traditional and funky contemporary materials that will blow your socks off, and suit all styles of artwork. But how do you decide which frame? A good start is to remember the purpose of the frame is to enhance your work so we allow the style and character of it to suggest the frame.
Box framing or shadow box framing not only adds interest to two dimensional work it allows you to display treasured possessions like medals, sports shirts, tour memorabilia, coins, anything that has a third dimension. Fragile items are protected from knocks, knicks and all the nasties causing deterioration that devalues your collection.
Conservation & Museum framing are two recognised standards of picture framing which protect fragile items and preserve their current condition for the future. Damage devalues everything, so we aim to slow the rate of natural decay by using best practice techniques and best quality materials. Environmental fluctuations cause deterioration so we make sure the item or artwork doesn't touch the glass.

Bev was wonderful to work with. She gave me all the time I needed to make a decision on the frames. We tried lots of samples, at a really good range of prices. The final framing blew me away! The quality of workmanship was better than I’ve seen anywhere. My artwork looked beautiful in her frames. Would totally recommend.

I was very fortunate to be introduced to Bev by a mutual friend at a local art exhibition. At the time I had a 50 year old embroidery that had been used for the back cover of an LP. I’d recently had conservation work done on the embroidery bringing it back to its original colour and brightness and this time I wanted to protect it properly so it could be kept in the family. Bev was enthusiastic, gave me some very helpful suggestions and professional ideas. She was a delight to work with and the final result is outstanding. I can’t recommend her highly enough, but can honestly say she is ‘simply

A top class service from Bev and one that I'd wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for framing services be they simple or complex. Bev was incredibly patient in helping pick the perfect moulding, and then also went out of her way to organise a plaque inscription from a local merchant too. Thank you Bev, the finished article looks magical!

I rarely need a picture framer as a furniture restorer, as I am generally able to sort most issues out myself.
But I was recently doing some work for a client that required some top quality framing and that’s when I found Bev during my search on the WWW.
Bev was helpful from the outset with my queries and emailed me within a few hours with a quote which was very helpful. Bev also completed the work within the time frame allotted and it was excellent. I would definitely recommend Bev.

I have had the pleasure of having bespoke frames made by Bev for many of my artworks over the last few years in preparation for quite a few exhibitions.
She has always been very open minded to my requests, generous with her valuable and knowledgeable advice, meticulous in execution and spot on (if not ahead of) schedule for the delivery. She always goes the extra mile to make sure that my work is safely cradled in the most professional and appealing way.
At the moment, I have 3 exhibitions scheduled this year and will definitely be knocking at Bev's door - the only framer I truly trust.

A bespoke picture frame was the only option for my unusually sized painting and Bev took time to advise me on the best method of framing and the best finish to present my work.
The finished result presents my painting in its best light and is beautifully made to a very high standard. It was delivered on time and to an agreed fee, which for a high quality bespoke frame was very reasonable.
I recommend Bev at Edge Bespoke Picture Framing to anyone looking for a bespoke, professional, experienced and highly skilled framing service with a personal touch.

Beverley has recently framed a crossstitch wedding sampler for me. I am delighted with the result. Beverley was very professional and helpful when choosing the appropriate frame for the work, she also was fully conversant in how to mount a textiles. Edge Bespoke will certainly be who I shall use in the future.

I was lucky enough to come across Bev a couple of years ago when I was desperately trying to find someone to frame an anniversary gift I made for my wife. A number of other companies had turned me down due to the delicate nature of the piece. The one-off, personal nature of the gift meant that it needed special care and attention and I was so very please with the result. It is set off so beautifully with the backing and in the frame recommended by Bev.
She offered a professional but very personal approach, giving excellent advice on what would and wouldn't work well with what I brought her. I

We have used Edge on several occasions over the last couple of years, and highly recommend this excellent business. Bev is not only a master of her craft, and an absolute perfectionist - she is also a delight to work with. She really listens to her customers, and goes that extra mile to ensure whatever is being framed is presented in the very best way possible. She has a really good eye for what is needed, and delivers it immaculately. Thank you Bev, we would never use anyone else now!
