Home / Frequently asked questions
Do you carve signs to order?
Yes. We draw, carve and gild signs by hand to suit the building and the trade. Tell us your idea and we will advise and prepare a quote.
Will the sign last outdoors?
We carve and finish each sign to stand up to the weather, and we will advise on timber and finish for the setting.
How do I get a quote?
Ask us to look at the job or visit the workshop. We advise on timber, lettering and gilding and give you a clear quote before any work.
What does a carved sign cost?
It depends on the sign, the lettering and the gilding. Tell us what you have in mind and we will give you a clear price.
Do you gild with real gold leaf?
Yes. We gild signs and letters by hand with real gold leaf, for a shine and depth that lasts outdoors.
Can you restore an old sign?
Often, yes. We repair, re-letter and re-gild old signs, respecting the maker. Show us the sign and we will advise.
