Illuminated letters, totems and tenant boards for Reading offices.

Office signage across Reading
Reading has more office floorspace than anywhere else in the Thames Valley, and it is spread out. Green Park and Thames Valley Park at either end, the towers and refurbished blocks around the station and the Forbury, Winnersh Triangle to the east and the units out at Theale. Each of those settings asks for something different from the signage.
A park building needs a monolith at the plot entrance and letters high enough to read from the estate road. A town centre block needs a directory panel and a clean set of letters at the door. We make and fit both.
Signs we make for Reading offices
Most exterior work here is aluminium fabrication with LED illumination. We build sign trays with an internal frame so they stay flat, use stand off locators on halo lit letters to get an even glow, and specify drivers that can be reached for servicing without dismantling the sign.

- Illuminated fascia trays and light boxes
- Monoliths, totems and plot entrance signs

How we work in Reading
Once the price is agreed, our site visit covers the practical questions. Where does the power come from, what is behind the cladding, can a lift get to the elevation, and who has to approve the drawing. On the business parks that last one matters, because estate teams often have a standard for panel sizes and colours that new signage has to sit within.
We fit Monday to Friday in working hours as standard. For occupied buildings, a slot before eight in the morning or at a weekend can be arranged on request, at extra cost, and access equipment is booked to suit. From approved artwork, most jobs are on the building within three weeks.
Coverage around Reading
Reading is about half an hour from the workshop on the A404 and M4. That is close enough for a site visit or a single panel swap without the travel adding much to the bill.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Normally the managing agent on behalf of the landlord. We prepare a drawing showing size, materials and position for them, and work with the agent on any queries. Most buildings have an agreed format for tenant panels, and matching it is the quickest route to approval.
Often, yes. If the tray is sound and the illumination still works, a new printed or acrylic face is much cheaper than a full replacement. We survey the existing unit, check the LEDs and the fixings, then remake the face to your artwork.
As a rough guide, letter height in millimetres gives you roughly a metre of legibility per 4mm of height. So 300mm letters read comfortably from around 75 metres. We work out the viewing distance from the road at survey and size the lettering to suit.
Yes, on request, at extra cost. We install Monday to Friday as standard. If a car park entrance or reception cannot be blocked during business hours, an evening or weekend slot can be arranged on request, at extra cost. We agree the slot when the job is booked in.
Call us and we will take a look. A damaged sign usually needs replacing rather than repairing. We hold the original artwork and drawings, so remaking a damaged panel is usually straightforward.
