Picture Framing

I'm looking for a good and cheap service - any ideas. I'd heard that the shop in town is expensive. Not that I have asked them to quote yet.....

I had a piece of glass replaced in a large picture and they charged me £20. I thought that was reasonable but others have said that was quite expensive. Service was good though and the man in the shop was very nice. I would use them again.

The shop in town is expensive, but they are good. There is also Landseer frames in Ware, also not cheap. If your feeling creative The Range in Harlow or Stevenage had a good selection of frames and they used to sell the mounting card as well, don't know if they still do though but they have a website.

Hertford Picture Framers in Fore Street have done many embroideries and other things for me and I would never go anywhere else, if you want quality you can't fault them and their service is excellent but just don't expect it to be cheap, I think with framing you get what you pay for. If you are going to live with something a long time you want it done well. They will give you the price before they do it so you can know before you decide

Thanks to Kate, Mrs T and Marilyn for your helpful comments. I shall try contacting the shop in town. My problem is that the job is not a normal picture. I have got a quantity of panoramic photos and I need to remove some of them from their frames to scan. But I'm not competent enough to get them back into the frames afterwards. As the photos are not even on display I really don't want to pay a high price for the work.

Do go and ask them.........................tell them that we on the forum recommended you ask them.............they will be able to help with that without charging a fortune I am sure, they are very helpful with small jobs as well as large ones!
