Aardvaark service is exactly what is promised - speedy, great value and made my print look really attractive, ready for hanging at short notice. Chatty and friendly too, and flexible when I wanted a different coloured mount, which was available from a shop nearby.  Thank you Peter!

I've been meaning to get some pictures framed for ages and am so glad that I came across Pete who lives a few streets away from me. Pete has framed 5 pictures for me and gave me brilliant advice as to which frame would suit them. He was incredibly speedy and my pictures look amazing and reflect the care that he obviously took with them. He's very good value as well, lots cheaper than a shop. Pete is a really friendly guy and we had a great chat about music. When I find my other pictures, that I have been meaning to frame, I will be straight back in touch and have already recommended him to my friends. I really can't recommend him enough.

I cant recommend Peter enough. I needed 2 pictures framed and he was extremely patient and helpful in advising me on what would most enhance the pictures. He kindly completely the job for me before the date we arranged and is very flexible with times you can come by to drop/collect. I was very happy with the completed products and will definitely use him again, even though I am not local to the area. He is very mindful of keeping costs low and offers excellent value while not compromising on quality. He also has the sweetest, little black cat!
Response : Thanks Taryn,good to be appreciated. Hope you got home ok,thats a long way to come! Chloe[the cat, says thanks for the compliment,she knows how great she is,such a Diva! See you next time,Pete.

Pete framed a bus sign, a Matisse poster and a limited edition print for us. Each time he was very generous with his time in helping us choose frames and mounts etc. His prices beat other framers hands down and we were more than pleased with the results.

Peter was wonderful today, he helped chose the frame and had my print finished a few hours later. The price was reasonable and the framing of a high standard.

Had two items framed rather last minute in time for Christmas. Cracking frames, cracking price and Pete was very helpful doing them extra fast.

Pete was brilliant. I dropped my ceramic Picasso off at about mid-day and it was framed and sorted by 18:30 same day! MUCH cheaper then all the other quotes I was given and the quality was amazing. Can't recommend him highly enough for a fast, efficient, high quality service! Michele.

Pete was very accomodating in terms of availability and made a bespoke frame for an oil painting brought back from my travels.

I popped in to see Pete and he worked around his already busy schedule to make sure my pictures were framed quickly and professionally. All the available options, colours and materials were offered at outstanding value. Cheers!

Just recently picked up four items - two pictures framed and a detailed job framing two very fragile art 'pieces'. Peter spent 6 hrs on each of these - and the attention to detail is wonderful. I am delighted with my precious pictures and look forward to enjoying them for years. Thank you, Peter, you did an excellent job and I will be recommending you to others.

Pete at Aadvark framing is my neighbour and has framed various photos, paintings and canvasses for me over the years. All beautifully finished and in bespoke frames you cannot buy off the shelf. He operates out of a workshop at home which makes him incredibly efficient and reasonably priced as he only charges for materials and labour rather than passing on the cost of an expensive showroom. I thoroughly recommend Pete's services for bespoke framing using traditional materials and methods.
