Our Services
-
Handpainted signs stand out because they’re crafted with care, not churned out by machines. Each one is a unique piece of work, designed to bring character and soul to your business. From windows to wood, brick, metal, and more, a handpainted sign turns any surface into a story worth noticing.
-
Gilding is the boldest way to make your sign shine — nothing catches the eye like real gold. Using the finest 23ct gold leaf, I create work that won’t tarnish, fade, or lose its brilliance over time. From windows to brick, fascias to full walls, gilding transforms any surface into something striking and timeless.
-
A handpainted or gilded house number adds charm, character, and a touch of tradition to your home. Using 23ct gold leaf or paint, I can create or restore numbers in any style — from period-correct designs to modern custom lettering. Whether on a transom, fanlight, or front door, your house number can be finished in gold, silver, copper, or paint for a look that lasts.
-
In my fully equipped workshop, I design and build custom signs to your exact specifications. Every signboard is crafted from premium materials and fully weatherproofed, built to withstand even the harshest weather. From fascia and hanging signs to A-boards and custom hardware, I create signage that’s durable, beautiful, and regulation-ready.

“We asked Duncan to gild (in gold leaf) the skylight in our home, as well a few other shapes and surfaces - some of them in quite high and tricky spaces. He did a brilliant job for us, and the effect on the light in our house is amazing.”

WHY CHOOSE A SIGN WRITER?
Your signage is important!
This is a craft that goes back a long way, that takes years of practice and dedication. When you commission a handpainted sign, you’re getting a unique piece of work made with care by a craftsman. Most of us signwriters set very high standards for ourselves and won’t walk away from a sign unless it’s as good as it can possibly be.
