Picture Frame Supplies UK
DIY Framing
Hanging fixings, repair kits, and expert advice — everything you need to mount your work safely and stylishly.
Hanging supplies we stock
Everything to get a finished frame onto the wall — straight, secure, and level.
Picture Hooks
Single-pin, double-pin, and heavy-duty hooks rated for everything from a small print to a large framed canvas.
Wire & Cord
Braided picture wire, nylon cord, and brass chain — sized to the weight of the piece.
D-Rings & Plates
A range of sizes for every frame weight, so the fixings sit flush and the frame hangs flat.
Wall Fixings
Screws, rawl plugs, and adhesive options for plasterboard, brick, and stone.
Archival Tape
Reversible, acid-free hinging and mounting tapes — chosen for longevity, never gaffer tape or PVA.
Full Sheets of Mount Board
Conservation-grade mountboard by the full sheet — cut your own mounts and backing, in a range of colours.
Why DIY framers come to us
Craftsman-grade
We use these same supplies in the workshop every day. If it isn’t good enough for our framing, it isn’t on the shelf.
Expert Advice
Pop in or call. We’ll talk you through the right fixings for the wall, the weight, and the artwork.
Your Partner
We treat DIY framers as fellow craftspeople. Not a transaction — a creative partnership.
Conservation-quality materials
The same archival stock we use on the bench every day — chosen to protect work for the long term, not just to finish a job.
Backing Boards
Acid-free and conservation grade, so the board behind the work never yellows or bleeds acid into the paper.
Tapes & Adhesives
Archival-quality, reversible tapes and hinges — chosen for longevity, never gaffer tape or PVA.
Dust Covers
A clean kraft backing across the frame back — a professional finish that seals out dust and insects.
Bumpers
Small self-adhesive feet that protect the wall and keep the frame sitting level and slightly off the plaster.
Advice that comes with it
Pop in or call — we'll talk you through the right approach before you put a hole in the wall.
Hardware for the weight
We match the fixing to the frame weight and the wall — the single thing most people get wrong.
Right fixing for the wall
Plasterboard, brick, and stone each need a different plug and screw. We carry the lot and will point you to the right one.
Height & gallery walls
Optimal hanging height, spacing, and alignment — including laying out a multi-frame gallery wall that lines up.
DIY repair & framing kits
For when you fancy doing it yourself — we'll tell you exactly what's in each.
Basic Repair Kit
Touch-up markers, wood filler, and sandpaper to tidy chips and scuffs on a tired frame.
Glass Replacement
Glass cutter, safety equipment, and glazing points to swap a cracked pane safely.
Re-backing Kit
Backing boards, archival tape, and bumpers to re-seal the back of a frame properly.
Complete DIY Kit
All the tools for frame assembly from scratch — for the framer feeling a little adventurous.
