If you want a bespoke cast metal sign or metal plaque we can design and produce those for you.

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

If you're looking for something special for yourself or looking for the perfect gift for someone else we can deliver that for you.

Commemorative Tree Plaques

Commemorative tree plaques are perfect wedding gifts. A tree planting ceremony with a bespoke cast aluminium or bronze tree plaque will always bring back fond memories of their special day.

 

"The plaque was exactly what we wanted, and your delivery timetable worked brilliantly."

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

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 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 hand sculpted bas-relief 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 can have a foreground and background colour. If there's a bas-relief motif on your aluminium sign there's possibly a separate colour scheme for that too.
