3D Signs and Lettering in Staines-upon-Thames
Built-up letters and reception logos for Staines offices and retail units.
In Staines-upon-Thames
Corporate frontage and a busy high street
Staines carries a lot of corporate office floor space for a town of its size, much of it along the London Road and around the Causeway, with retail concentrated in the centre. Those two settings pull in opposite directions. One wants large, clean, well lit lettering on a modern elevation. The other wants something that suits a narrow fascia on a pedestrianised street.
We handle both, and we make the letters ourselves at Marlow Bottom before our installers fit them.
What we make
Choosing depth is half the job. Too shallow and a name looks printed on. Too deep and it starts to look heavy on a small frontage. We take the viewing distance and the surface at survey and specify from that, then build the letters to match, in acrylic, aluminium or stainless.
- Built-up aluminium and acrylic letters
- Halo-lit rear illuminated lettering
- Face-lit LED letters for retail fascias
- Flat cut brushed stainless steel letters
- Fabricated 3D logos for reception areas
- Powder coated lettering for office elevations

How we work in Staines-upon-Thames
Vehicle access to the pedestrian areas is limited later in the day, so town centre retail installs may need an early start, which can be arranged on request, at extra cost. We check the loading arrangement at survey and book the visit around it, rather than turning up and hoping for a gap.
Office work is arranged with the building manager and fitted in working hours as standard, with work outside core hours available on request, at extra cost. Where a reception is in constant use we screen the area, protect the floor and keep the noisy part short. Brand guidelines are applied at drawing stage, and you approve a setting out drawing before we cut anything.
Coverage
Staines is an easy run from the workshop via the M25 or the A308, and our London installers cover it as well. Having two routes in helps with access and timing.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Either as flat cut letters on locators through a glazed panel where the glass allows it, or applied to the inside face with clear fixings. Toughened glass cannot be drilled after manufacture, so on existing glazing we use a surface fixed method instead.
For a shopfront read from across the street, 20mm to 40mm is usually plenty. For a building read from a car park or a main road, 50mm and above. We show both options on the drawing so you can see the shadow before deciding.
We colour match. Send a Pantone reference, a printed swatch or an existing sign and we mix a wet spray to it. A sprayed sample comes to you for approval before the full set goes through the booth.
No. LED lettering draws very little power, and most sets run on a timer or a photocell so they only light when needed. Running cost is normally a smaller consideration than the install itself.
We can. Removal, making good at the old site, adjustment where the new elevation differs and refitting are all part of the same job. Sometimes it is cheaper to remake from scratch, and we will tell you honestly which it is.
