Our Services
Gold-leaf Gilding
The traditional technique of leaf gilding is a fantastic skill to have learnt over the years. Although it’s not often used any more, when you do apply leaf, people stop and look!
There’s nothing to compare to the shine of genuine gold leaf glinting in the sunshine. We can apply leaf to virtually anything, glass, fascia’s, honours boards, weathervanes, yachts, we’ve even gilded an edible cake!
Vehicle Graphics
Using your vehicle is a no-brainer as far as advertising goes, a 24 hour a day advert that moves!
We can apply the most simplistic elegant designs right through to full digitally printed ‘in your face’ wraps, we also specialise in Chapter 8 safety chevrons for the rear of vehicles. Camper van graphics are our speciality.
Shop Front Signage
The bread and butter of what we do! We provide designs using our years of expertise to produce signage that works. smart, eye-catching and appealing, 3 words that we hear a lot in our feedback from customers.
Dimensional Signs
This is a category that we excel, we love to produce signage that really ‘stands out’ using many different mediums we love to push the envelope of designs to blur the lines between signs and art. If you want your business to get noticed, this is the style for you.
Sand Blasting
We have a sandblast booth that we can use to engrave and etch glass and stone. We have been commissioned to etch pebbles to create place names for weddings we then inlay Gold leaf for a truly personalised gift.
Sandblasting is a technique that can provide beautiful designs to glass panels.
Decorative Glass
The Victorians really knew how to use glass to the full in their signage and advertising. We’ve spent years researching and learning the methods of old to produce beautiful exquisite glass signage.
Producing glass pieces is a true labour of love, everything is done in reverse and everything is done slowly. This is a true passion for us and we are always thrilled when we get to undertake this style of work.
LED Illuminated Signs
Using LED’s in signage is now classed as the norm for illumination and we are skilled in the installation and maintenance of them. Using low cost LED’s in your signage is a great idea to continue advertising your business after hours.
There is a wide range of colours to choose from and various control functions, just speak to us if you are interested. We work closely with Shout for and Electrician to provide safe electrical work.
Digital Prints
Digital printing is huge in the sign industry now, we can print anything, any size for any surface (nearly!)
We print wallpaper designs for rooms, wrapping vinyl for vehicles, we print basic signage for the budget conscious customer, and we print logos for signs and vehicles.
Traditional Sign-writing
This is a service that we spent years of our apprenticeship learning! The true grandfather of our craft, there’s nothing like the smell of sign-writing enamel in the morning!
Hand sign-writing is a skill and an art-form that is appreciated by young and old. We love to paint on walls, honours boards and windows! We’ve even painted a classic American truck using tricks to make the paint look faded and antique.
