Yes. For anything where scale, position or appearance matters, I want everyone looking at the same visual before we manufacture it. It is much easier to move a logo, change a colour or resize a sign on a screen than after materials have been cut or holes have been drilled.

That proof also gives you something concrete to approve, rather than trying to imagine the finished result from a written quote.

It depends on the scope. A straightforward printed job can move quickly; fabricated, illuminated, engineered or multi-site work naturally needs more time. Approvals, access equipment and installation scheduling can also become the real lead-time drivers.

If you have an opening date, event date or vehicle booking that cannot move, tell us at the start. We would rather work backwards from the real deadline than give you a generic lead time that doesn’t help.

It depends on the application, and this is one of those questions where seeing the actual site makes the answer much better. We look at visibility, brand, materials, expected life, access and budget before recommending the final solution.

If it were my project, I would start by getting the basics right rather than adding complexity for the sake of it. Send us a photo and the key dimensions and we can talk you through the options in plain English.

Yes. We can manage the installation as part of the job, and we prefer to think about installation while the signage is being designed rather than at the end.

Access, fixing surfaces, power, working heights, trading hours and site rules can all affect the best solution. A sign that looks great in a proof but is unnecessarily difficult to install is not a well-resolved sign.

There isn’t one useful fixed price for this because size, materials, quantity, access and installation can change the job enormously. My preference is to price the actual project rather than throw out a number that may send you in the wrong direction.

If you send us a photo of the site or vehicle, approximate dimensions, your logo or artwork, quantity and location, we can normally narrow the options down quickly. And if you have a budget, tell us. It genuinely helps us design around what is realistic rather than presenting an option that was never going to fit.

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

This is where a photo is incredibly useful. Send us the location or item you want signed, along with your logo and approximate dimensions, and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

The best starting point is usually simpler than people expect: send us your logo or brand guidelines, a few clear photos, approximate dimensions, quantity, location and the date you need it by. For vehicles, the make/model and photos help; for buildings, a straight-on site photo is ideal.

Don’t worry if you don’t have perfect artwork or architectural drawings. Send us what you have. Our job is to work out what is missing and ask the right questions before we manufacture anything.

Yes. This is where having the design, production and installation thinking connected makes a difference. We can work from existing brand guidelines or, if you only have a logo, build the signage direction from there.

My view is that good signage should look like it belongs to the business and the site. We don’t want to force the same construction onto every brand just because it is easy for us to make.
