Command attention on the high street.
We collaborate with independent retailers, hospitality venues, and heritage properties to craft enduring exterior and interior signs that set your business apart.
Complete Shopfront Makeovers
Fascias, Windows & Projecting Signs
Your storefront is the physical handshake between your business and the street. A mass-produced plastic sign fades into the background, but a meticulously hand-painted fascia commands immediate respect.
We handle the entire visual presence of your premises. From striking main fascia boards and traditional swinging signs to delicate 23ct gold-leaf window lettering, every element is designed to reflect the quality of what you do inside.
- Fascia Boards: Weather-resistant lettering on restored or newly prepared wood.
- Window Gilding: Reverse glass gilding that catches the sunlight and draws the eye.
- A-Boards & Hanging Signs: Sturdy, eye-level street signage for foot traffic.
The Value of the Brush
Why independent brands choose traditional craft
Unmatched Durability
Vinyl peels, fades, and cracks under changing weather conditions. Traditional signwriting enamels are chemically designed to endure. When applied by an expert hand over properly prepared surfaces, a painted sign outlasts modern plastic alternatives by decades, aging gracefully with your building.
Authentic Character
Brush strokes carry a human touch that printers cannot replicate. This authenticity speaks directly to customers looking for quality, artisanal, or trusted local services.
Heritage Compliance
For businesses operating in conservation areas or historic buildings, local councils frequently mandate traditional signage. We understand these guidelines and ensure your branding complies beautifully.
How to Commission
A straightforward, collaborative process
Consultation & Site Visit
We discuss your vision, survey the property, take precise measurements, and evaluate the surface conditions to determine the right materials.
Design & Sketching
Based on your existing brand or starting from scratch, we develop hand-drawn layouts and provide a visual mockup alongside a formal quote.
Preparation & Painting
Once approved, we prepare the surface rigorously. The signwriting is then executed on-site or in the studio, ensuring a flawless, long-lasting finish.
Quick Answers
Common business enquiries
Can you match our existing brand typography?
Yes. While traditional signwriting often utilizes specialized brush alphabets, we regularly adapt established brand fonts, logos, and digital typefaces to work beautifully with brush and enamel.
How long does a shopfront installation take?
It varies depending on the scale and weather conditions. A standard fascia usually takes 2-4 days of on-site work. We coordinate with you to minimize disruption to your trading hours.
Do I need planning permission for a painted sign?
Often yes, especially in conservation areas or on listed buildings. While we do not secure permissions on your behalf, we provide detailed layout drawings and mockups to support your application.
