001 · Survey
Measure before you promise.
We measure the elevation, check the fixings and substrate, note the viewing distances and photograph the access. The specification is written from the building, not the brochure.
01 / Legibility
A sign is only as good
as its reading distance.
Drag the rule. Every specification we write starts here — how far away the sign has to work from decides letter height, illumination, substrate and fixing. Guide figures based on roughly 25mm of cap height per 3 metres of viewing distance.

02 / What we make
Every surface is a chance
to say something clearly.
Twelve signage disciplines, one supplier. Most projects start with a survey and end with our fitters on site — so specification, manufacture and installation never get lost between three different companies.
03 / Materials
Six core substrates.
One quality standard.
Hover a material to lift it out of the stack. These six carry most of what leaves the workshop — cut, printed, routed, folded and finished in house — and we work plenty more besides, so the material is chosen for the site rather than for the shelf.
06 Steel plate · 3mm
05 Aluminium composite · 3mm
04 Foamex PVC · 5mm
03 Cast acrylic · 5mm
02 Printed vinyl · 100µm
01 Cut vinyl · 80µm
01
Cut vinyl80µm · 7yr cast
Weeded lettering and logos for windows, doors and panel work. No background, no edge — just the mark, applied to survive a jet wash.
02
Printed vinyl100µm · UV laminate
Full-colour graphics, wraps and window film. Colour-matched, proofed and laminated so the reds have not gone pink in five years.
03
Cast acrylic3–10mm · clear, opal, tinted
Laser-cut and flame-polished on our own bed. Reception logos, standoff plaques and the diffused faces behind illuminated work.
04
Foamex PVC3–10mm · matt white
Light, rigid and quick to change. The right answer for interiors, exhibitions, site notices and anything that moves next quarter.
05
Aluminium composite3mm · routed & folded
The exterior workhorse. Flat, stable and weatherproof — fascia panels, hoardings, site boards and folded trays that stay square on a wet wall.
06
Steel & stainless plate1.5–3mm · brushed or RAL
Laser-cut, powder-coated or brushed. Where a sign has to carry weight, take an impact or outlive the tenancy — totems, plaques and statutory plates.

05 / Selected work
Made for the
real world.
06 / The difference
One workshop. One
team. Every detail
accounted for.
Good signage does more than fill a space — it guides, protects, promotes and makes a business feel unmistakably itself. Keeping design, manufacture and installation in one place is how we keep that standard consistent across a single shopfront or a fifty-site rollout.

07 / Sectors
Specified for the
place it has to live.
A retail fascia, a distribution yard and a school corridor need different materials, fixings and compliance. We specify for the environment, not the catalogue.
“They surveyed on the Tuesday, had visuals back by Thursday and fitted the whole frontage before we opened. Nothing needed chasing.”
