Welcome to House signs by

 

We are a small family business based on the Essex/Suffolk border. We have been established since 1976 and over the past 30 years have developed a range of high quality weathervanes, planters, house signs and hanging basket brackets. This site is devoted to our range of house signs, names and numbers. For details of our weathervanes, go to 

www.weathervanes.co.uk

All signs are individually designed and produced - do not feel you have to select from a set range; the illustrations shown on this site are examples only and are intended to be starting point for your own ideas.

Our house signs and numbers can be divided into eight basic types:

 
TYPE 1 Bracket Sign    

This type of sign is designed to attach to a post or at right angles to a wall. The price quoted will include lettering on BOTH sides of the sign. The lettering is high quality vinyl and can be supplied in any colour or font. Two sizes are available

a) Arm projecting 350mm or   b) Arm projecting 500mm

The signs can be supplied either plain, or with a motif from our range of over 650 designs - or commission your own.

TYPE 2 Wall mounting sign with vinyl lettering

Designed to screw flat on to a wall these signs consist of a metal plate, with or without a motif, and high quality vinyl  lettering applied to one side only. As with bracket signs, the lettering can be any size or font. The price is not dependant on the number of letters.

TYPE 3 Wall Mounting sign with metal lettering

Also designed to screw flat to a wall, these signs come with or without a motif but the lettering consists of individually cut metal letters, welded into a frame. There is a choice of two letter styles and the price is dependant on the number of letters.  The letters are sized as 3" tall capitals, with the lower case in proportion.
