House signs made in all kinds of materials

Home & House Signs Door Numbers
There are house signs and house numbers to suit all types of homes and tastes. It is important to choose the right one - you are going to see it every day for many years. Have a look at this page - choosing your house sign for some pointers. As well as choosing the right size, lettering style, image, you must choose the material you want to have your house sign made in. There is plenty of choice, the most popular being wooden, slate, cast brass, granite and clear acrylic. Choosing a House Sign

Stone and Slate Signs
Our Slate Signs House Signs can be cut to any size including some rounds and ovals. For house name plates we also have granite and marble. They can be painted in a variety of colours or the background can be blasted away leaving the letters raised. Depending on font and design, slate can look traditional or modern.

Wooden House Signs
Each wooden house sign or large wooden commercial sign is made to order with a huge variety of fonts and sizes. We can also include borders and pictures. Lettering is also painted in a choice of colours. Oak is the most popular wood for a sign . However we do use Cherry, Sapele, Iroko and Cedar. Rustic slices are also produced.

Painted Signs
After years of signs with vinyl lettering the painted sign is making a come back. We can use solid oak or we can paint a board known as Tricoya - this a wood based board made using a high performance resin. It is very stable, durable and weatherproof. Tricoya itself comes with a 50 year guarantee. We also frame the Tricoya with oak for a traditional painted framed sign.

Safety Signs
These are made in self adhesive vinyl and rigid PVC in both white and photo luminescent. There is a huge range of standard safety signage including fire, warning, hazard, safety posters, food safety, water safety etc. They are all on the web site and we do have a fantasic catalogue for the safety signs. Give us a call and we will send you one ASAP.

Cast Metal Name Plates
The cast metal signs are all made in a foundry using traditional methods. They are all long lasting and hard wearing. House signs are available in Cast Brass, Cast Bronze and Cast Aluminium. Memorial plaques are available in Cast Bronze and Cast Aluminium.

Sign Boards
A range of boards are available for all purposes. Ideal for information boards, business name plates and house signs. Can be made with singe colour cut vinyl or printed full colour or a mixture of both! Supplied with or without frames and/or posts as required. Reflective nameplates along with good range of fibreglass sign boards.

Entrance Signs
It is really important that your Entrance Sign looks the part. It is not there just to identify your property, although it does of course need to do that. As people drive past they see your entrance sign and will unknowingly judge you or your business. We have put together a selection of links to various pages of the website, which should enable you to find the right entrance sign to suit your property or business and your budget.

Notices Boards, Poster Cases, A-Boards, Blackboards
We have a superb range of outdoor notice boards and poster cases which are all secure and waterproof. Included in this range are shaped notice boards and menu cases. Also indoor notice boards, A-Boards, Blackboards and White Boards.

Stable Door Name Plates
We make the horse name plates for stable doors in several materials - three different timbers, engraved brass, acrylic laminate & aluminium, stone-like corian and a cast metal alloy.

Engraved Plaques
There are 3 thickness of good quality engravers brass available along with faced aluminium for tarnish free plaques. Maintenance free engraved laminates are also available along with corian and stainless steel. Materials can be cut to any size- a wide range of engraving fonts and graphics can be used. There are three methods of engraving - traditional, laser and chemically etched. Also see Memorial Plaques

Bronze Memorial Plaques Cast Bronze Signs
Each casting creates a unique piece in it's own right. Craftsmen use traditional methods for casting the bronze plaques and ensure that every handmade bronze sign or plaque that leaves the foundry is absolutely perfect. Background colour include black, brown, blue and green.

Black and White Signs
Over the last couple of years simple black and white signs have become very popular. We have therefore created a page to show the various alternatives available to you for a black and white sign.

Clear Acrylic Name Plates
High quality contemporary acrylic name plate suitable for internal or external use. They look crystal clean like glass and are ideal for a modern look. Also available in larger sizes for business. Full Colour designs also available.

Embossed & Enamelled Vintage Plates
These vintage style signs and name plates are gorgeous. They are made using traditional methods developed originally for car number plates. Some of the dies for the embossing process are 80 years old! Each plate is hand made and then hand sprayed using stoving enamel.

Metal Signage
A varied range of metal signage suitable for house signs, memorial plaques and commercial signage. Metals range from enamel plates to full colour printing into anodised aluminium, vinyl lettering and full colour vinyl on aluminium plate, hand painted metal, engraved metal and cast metal.

Stone-Like Corian
A modern material with a cold stone like finish. It is perfect for signs in that it is very durable, fade proof and virtually maintenance free. Can be supplied as it is, on backing board or with oak frame. Also available as a two tone plaque with invisable fixings.

Wedding Signs

We can make all kinds of wedding signs along other wedding paraphernalia. The rustic slate place name settings are very popular indeed. We also have directional signage, banners, sand blasted jars, picnic benches, magnetic signs and more.

You are very welcome ,I do not do Facebook or any of the others, so will ,when have time, write a review and pass word that your company is one of the best I gave dealt with, and as a business partner in a large farming company who deals with many staff and many companies this is not a Nothing praise. I wish you and your company well for the future ,you deserve the recognition. I ,may be in touch with you in the near future, as the farmhouse sign needs replacing, and have no reason to look elsewhere.

Thanks for confirming Caroline. Continue to meet my expectations of the company!

As per our phone conversation last week, I've found everyone I've spoken to at Sign Maker to be very helpful, understanding and totally professional. Normally most people would have grown impatient with the number of proofs I've requested. But at no point did anyone give me that indication. Also you've all helped with your recommendations and advice which I really appreciate.

The absolutely best feedback I can give is that I would return in future and recommend to friends and family.

Thank you and looking forward to receiving the house sign.

Often firms promise the earth and it’s not quite that on delivery, in your case, if anything, it’s the reverse - absolutely stunning.

Dear team
Would just like to say thank you for a very professional service and product received from your company. From the prompt returned telephone call to the craftsmanship and dedicated staff to get my order out. It was very “refreshing” to speak to a company that was very willing to help. We seem to live in a nation of complaints so feel it only right that you should be complemented for doing a “good job” when truly due.
Thanks

Hello,

I would wish to thank you for the plaque provided. It looked terrific and is obviously well made. I have mounted the item on a gate post and it really looks the part.
Also I would thank you for the mounting screws with head covered as per the plaque background so that they matched. A very nice bonus which is appreciated.

All in all, well done, a smashing job and a fitting memorial to me Aunt.

Thank you again.

So grateful thanks to you and all the team for getting it to me in time for my trip to Bournemouth.

Wishing you all continuing success with your business,

"Please do send my thanks on to everyone involved, and a big thank you to you for persevering with this as I know there was lots of faffing in the beginning! Thank you to you and all of your team for all your work on this project, the signs really do look AMAZING.

And from a logistical point of view, THANK YOU SO MUCH for packing them with the relevant labels and location numbers. That was a god send today when we were driving around and installing them from the back of my car!
Your team really have done a great job and please pass on our thanks. Hopefully we will get Phase 2 authorised later in the year, I will definitely be back in touch. The quality of the signs and the service was fantastic. Best wishes. Vicki"

Good evening to you all.

I wanted to send a photo of your finished sign in place.
We had the unveiling on Sunday at a special service in our little church. Many of the relatives of the fallen attended as well as many parishioners.
We really are very grateful for all your hard work and patience to make such a wonderful memorial, I’m happy to say everyone was delighted with the quality of your work. In the end we mounted in such a way that you can not see the fixings.

Thank you all so much.

Dear The Sign Maker Team,

My name is Sophie Pendry, myself and my friends ordered a plaque from you a couple of weeks ago in memory of our friend Dan Hougham who was tragically lost in a car accident 7 weeks ago.

I wanted to take the time out to personally write you a letter of thanks, We were absolutely over whelmed by the finished result as it's exactly what we were after. I can assure you so many tears were shed upon only showing Dan's Friends before our event on the 31st July to unveil it's new home to the family and the rest of Dan's Friends. I physically can't thank you enough for getting every detail spot on with this and it's meant the world to all of us.

The process from start to finish was as simple as anything due to your wonderful team. Your service is impeccable and i didn't have any doubts when ordering this. It's been extremely hard for all of us losing Dan as he was essentially a brother to us all. Thank you for every phone call, every email and every proof it's all perfection.

I know it's not much but from the bottom of all of our hearts we thank you all for making our dreams come true and giving us something Dan deserves more than anything through his honour that we can visit forever more.

We can never be more grateful.

All our love
The Guildford Lot
