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.
Our approach
Why choose us
Restore and re-gild

Made to read and to last
We carve and finish each sign to read well and to stand up to the weather.
Carved by hand
Every sign is drawn, carved and gilded by hand in our workshop, not routed by machine.
Honest advice
We talk plainly about timber, lettering and gilding, so you know what you are getting.
For shops and homes
For shops, pubs, homes and anyone who wants a sign carved properly.
