Maybe look for someone who makes canvases?

It's easy, work from the centre outwards... Check YouTube, buy some canvas pliers and DIY...

Probably easiest to buy a stretcher with canvas attached (so it's properly tensioned) and send it and the material to a furniture upholsterers to have it attached. If that's all too expensive the diy route is possible. Most carpenters can make a custom size frame for you but stretchers have a special joint at the corners that allows for a little extra tension to be applied once the canvas is in place, that joint also prevents racking in the frame under tension.

we're getting 2 metres of fabric that we want stretched over a wooden frame so we can sling it up on the wall. is this something a traditional framer would do? tempted to do it myself but it'll be an expensive mistake if i arse it up, which i definitely will.
