Honest and competitive pricing
Clients tell us our pricing is very reasonable for the standard of quality they prefer
To be honest, most of our clients no longer check our prices against our competitors. While we‘re happy to leave the cheap end of the market to others, so many clients have long since learned our pricing is very reasonable for the standard of service and quality they prefer.
If ever the old adage that you get what you pay for should be applied, it’s also worth noting that when it comes to framing it’s the quality that can take years to become evident that really matters.
