Frequently Asked Questions

I have recently obtained a new shop, can you help me with the shopfront signage?

We can definitely help. In order to start the process, we need a few details such as the size of your shopfront, the type of signage you are after and what it is going to say. Don’t worry if you do not have a design and if you do not have exact sizes, we can work with approximates or can get rough sizes from a picture.

What about signs for the inside of the shop?

We can also help there. If you have a rough idea of what you are after, or even if you have no clue and want to talk it through with us, feel free to get in touch via email, phone, or pop in and have a chat with us in person.

How long do the signs last for?

As a general rule, most signs that are maintained regularly have an expected lifespan of between 4 and 7 years and can last longer. However, certain materials used in the construction of a sign may have a shorter lifespan, so it is best to speak to us when enquiring.

I have a logo already, can you use this in my sign?

Absolutely, if you have something you want us to work with, send it over when enquiring and we can make sure it is included.
