House Sign with pictorial of a lighthouse

House Signs with Seagul and Lighthouse deisgn - this design has been asked for quite a lot over the past years. We don't actually offer set pictorials or motifs - our custom painted house signs are individually hand painted to our customers requirements by the sign artist. Visitors to our website www.yoursigns.com can get a good idea of what we can make for them but a lot of customers see exactly what they would like in the examples we show and then order the same pictorial with a few small modifications. This one has a different colour and shape of lighthouse compared with previous examples.

WE ARE EXPANDING

The time has come for us to move our house sign studio to larger premises. We have been making reflective house signs from our sign studio here in Aldwick, Bognor Regis for the past 8 years but we have run out of room.

Due to our growing online customer base, Ornamental Signs has progressed from a one man operation started by me in 1995 to a team of skilled house sign makers and commissioned house sign artists and now we need to move to larger premises to serve our online customers quicker and better in the future. We are relocating our main office and sign studio to new premises located in Newport on the Isle of Wight.

The existing team of house sign artist who create the wonderful hand painted pictorials shown on these pages will continue to paint the house signs in Aldwick, Bognor Regis and we will also be recruiting extra sign makers, artists and office staff on the Isle of Wight over the next few months. All of our more basic reflective house signs will be made entirely at the new house sign studio.

The next month will be very hectic as we start to dismantle all the equipment we need to set up production on the Isle of Wight and also keep on top of orders being placed on our website. I will be relocating onto the Island permanently with my family to oversee the new offices - I am quite looking forward to living in such a lovely part of Britain.
