If you want bespoke signs for private, corporate, local government or property developments we can design and produce those for you.

We are responsible for designing the metal signs seen in most of the large DIY outlets in the UK so you probably know our work already. 

We also deliver what you can't get from the high street or online retailers of signs and house nameplates.

Just some of the projects that we've worked on.

We designed and manufactured the artwork/sculpture work for most of the standard motifs, rope and beaded back plates for the metal signs sold at B&Q, Do It All and Timpsons retail stores throughout the UK. Wrexham County Council commissioned us to design and manufacture a sign featuring a Welsh red dragon. We also designed and manufactured a one-metre diameter bronze sign for the Clipper Quay luxury housing development at Salford Docks in Manchester.

Choices of back plate, lettering, shapes and sizes.

Because of our understanding of traditional mould making, sand cast foundry, metalwork and manufacturing skills we can design and produce your own unique quality cast metal sign. We can produce bespoke back plates, lettering and sculpted motifs. 

3D motifs designed from your drawings or from ours.

We can design and produce sculpted motifs from the photos or drawings that you supply. Alternatively we can design those for you. From the drawing we'll produce the 3D sculpture for your traditional sand cast sign.

We have made clipper ships, numerous breeds of dogs, vintage cars, motorcycles, dragons, dinosaurs and butterflies to name a few. A good example of the quality of our motifs is that produced for an aluminium sign featuring 'children playing'.

Your choice of quality finishes.

Entrust the hand painting of your sign to the capable hands of our highly skilled decorators. We use professional sign painter's colours giving your signs a tough, weatherproof and long life finish.

Bronze or brass signs have a painted background. The exposed bare metal can be polished to a mirror or satin finish. Although polished brass signs only need an occasional cleaning, a protective clear sign painter's varnish can be applied to protect those.

Aluminium signs have a foreground and background colour. If there's a low relief motif on your aluminium sign there's a separate colour scheme for that too.
