OUR OPENING HOURS ARE TUESDAY WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY 1.30 PM TO 5.30 PM
National Lockdown - Update 19th February 2021
We are very concerned not to mention frustrated that we are still receiving many requests to be open for trading and collection of items. It is quite clear on national news that non essential retail be closed. Everyone is aware of the position. We ask that people stop contacting us asking for us to break the law and complete framing and or make arrangements for them to collect their framing so as to enable them to also break the law during a period of lockdown. Lockdown is in place to try and curb the spread of the virus. Its not in place on a whim or for fun. Please respect it.

National Lockdown- Covid 19- Update January 2021
We hope everyone is as safe and well as can be.
We are responding to customers only via text on 07952063601. Read on to understand why this is best.
We are surprised and concerned that a large number of customers are contacting us expecting us to be open. Even worse, actually travelling to our shop and then complaining to us via voicemail email or text because we are closed. Lockdown allows only essential travel.
CLICK HERE TO VIEW - NATIONAL LOCKDOWN: STAY AT HOME ON GOV WEBSITE.
As per Government Legislation, like all non essential businesses, we have been forced to close again January 2021 until further notice under the current lockdown regulations. Lockdown has in effect, as it has done to many thousands of businesses, ruined trade, and been problematic, although absolutely necessary.
We are however receiving a number of enquiries for new framing orders and framing orders already with us.
We understand your concern reference orders currently with us , although please do rest assured that all orders currently with us are safe and sound. Further take note we are not closing down or going out of business; once the crisis is over we shall continue trading in as normal a manner as is possible.
Please note that due to the amount of voice messages being received newer ones are over writing already recorded ones. Please therefore TEXT us on 07952063601 Please include your full name, address, all contact details, order number from your receipt, full description of items in for framing, and we shall revert to you with an update on your individual order in as timely a fashion as is possible in the circumstance. All orders that have not been framed we will advise you in due course. Orders that have not been framed, we will give you the option of still having them framed, or having the items available for collection unframed. Notwithstanding, as you will understand and appreciate, we are unable at this stage to say when that will be; it is out of our hands.
We reiterate, as per Government Legislation, like all non essential businesses, we have been forced to close January 2021 until further notice under the current lockdown regulations. We are surprised we are still receiving enquiries from a number of people asking if we can make an exception and frame 'just one item' or if we can arrange for a quick collection to be made from our store. The answer is NO we can't. Doing so would be against the law for us, and also for you as you are aware you must stay home and travel for essential purposes only. We cannot and will not assist aid nor abet people to flout the regulations, so please do not ask us to. Lockdown is for the health and safety of everyone, irrespective of how difficult it is to cope with. Please therefore do not leave messages for us along the lines that you are "coming to collect your items come what may, and that we'd better be there" as a small number of people have been doing. This behaviour will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly.
On an additional note, unfortunately neither are we in a position to deliver, arrange delivery or liaise with third party delivery agents at this time. Sorry about this.
Rewinding over a year, what's happened?
We had a large number of orders, which we admit overwhelmed us, so we got behind. Work was not completed as swiftly as normal or as swiftly as we would have wished. We were a framer down.
Then of course Covid reared its ugly head and we were forced into lockdown and closure for months. The lady manning the counter was poorly on a number of occasions necessitating closure along with other private health problems within her family meaning opening times were amended accordingly. Additionally on three occasions she was ordered to self isolate as a result of the Public Health England track and trace, having apparently been in contact with a Covid infected person or persons. Self isolation is a legal requirement, and whilst most customers were understanding, a small number were not, and made ridiculous unreasonable demands that would in any event have been a breach of legal regulations. Staff had the track and trace app, to as best as possible safeguard everyone, themselves and customers. We are sure customers, as annoying as it is to experience delay in their framing, would be happier to not contract Covid and have the collection of their framing or unframed items delayed.
Further, it has also been a challenge to obtain certain supplies due to our suppliers operating reduced services or not operating at all, for their own personal Covid related reasons. As a result certain framing orders could not be completed. We shall shortly be in touch with individual customers to personally update accordingly and thank you for your understanding co operation and patience.
To the 99% of customers who have been absolutely supportive helpful and fantastic, during this difficult time for everyone, we thank each and every one of you very much, hope you are all safe and well and we look forward to serving you very very soon once we defeat this nasty nasty virus that has blighted all our lives. Many thanks and kind regards.

Coronavirus Covid-19 UPDATE AS OF JUNE 5TH 2020
Re-opening as safely as possible
The government guidelines suggest that it is safe for shops to re open on 15th June 2020.
We disagree with some aspects of the governments suggestions, basing our thoughts on direct information from those ACTUALLY working in the health and social care system. Concern in the health and social care system is that government briefings may create an "everything is fine attitude" leading people to believe "its all over" which in turn may give rise to a serious increase in the rate of infection The infection rate in the North West is about the highest in the UK. Lockdown has suppressed the virus although it has not changed the basic way it transmits between people, it is still out there amongst the population and we have not got rid of it. There is no real treatment nor vaccine. Further we understand that many people will still be infected yet show no symptoms and this is the most dangerous aspect about the virus. We all have to be careful.
When we re open, (which we expect will be Tuesday 16th June 2020 operating restricted hours, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays only 1.30pm to 5.30 pm) we will be operating a policy of one person in store at a time, that customers must wear a face covering, (we will not allow anyone in our shop without a face covering/face mask) that customers must cleanse hands with hand sanitiser which we shall freely provide, that customers must strictly observe social distancing rules, that payment is to be made at time of placing order/prior to collection, that payments in cash must be the exact amount (if no change is given it reduces the risk of infection back to you), that payment can be made direct into our bank just like the payments we receive from corporate organisations. Please also note we have discontinued our collection and delivery service.
*We apologise if all this appears a little blunt but there will be no exceptions; our terms are not open for negotiation discussion or dispute, they are for your safety as well as ours, so when we do re open, we respectfully ask all our customers to strictly abide by these terms and if you are not willing to abide, then to not do business with us. Anyone who refuses to observe and abide with the terms will be asked to leave. Please note remotely monitored CCTV is in operation in our store.
We thank you for your co-operation and we appreciate your understanding during this difficult time .
Coronavirus Covid-19
Notice about the Covid-19 infection March 2020
The Covid-19 (coronavirus) infection has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organisation.
The health and wellbeing of our customers and everyone here at The Picture Framing Centre is top priority.
The current Covid-19 outbreak is affecting every part of our business, as it is for others.
Friends and family members of staff here at The Picture Framing Centre work and are involved in healthcare, a priority sector where staff have to minimise risk of infection and illness.
It is likely there will be a UK wide lockdown, although as a precaution, to limit exposure, as a result we are like a lot of businesses closing to the public from Monday 23rd March 2020.
Whilst such closure will hit our business hard, we are resilient, we shall be back and it will be business as normal as soon as possible once the situation is under control and it is safe to re-open.
We understand you may be frustrated at the delays and limitations, no one more so than us, although we ask all our customers to be patient, which the majority are and have been, and not resort to making threats, being abusive or aggressive with staff online/offline as has been noticed recently with some people as it is not acceptable and it will not be tolerated.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
