Sign Makers in Reading
From a single fascia to a full site wayfinding scheme.
In Reading
One workshop, one team, start to finish
Reading is one of the busiest towns on our patch. Office signage around the station and the business parks, retail and hospitality in the centre, and a steady run of unit signage and vehicle graphics out towards Theale and Woodley. It is close enough that we treat it as local work rather than a trip.
Everything we supply is made at our own workshop in Marlow Bottom and installed by our own teams. That includes the design work, the manufacture and the fitting. One contract, one team, no handovers.
What we make
The product mix depends on where in Reading you are. Business park sites want totems, building identification and internal wayfinding. Town centre units want fascias, illuminated letters and glass graphics. We build both to order rather than from a standard range.
- Shop and fascia signs, illuminated or plain
- Built up, 3D and halo lit lettering
- Totems, monoliths and car park signage
- Reception logos, logo walls and directory boards
- Internal wayfinding and room signage
- Window graphics, manifestation and privacy film
- Vehicle graphics and fleet livery

How we work in Reading
We quote from your photos, measurements or drawings first. Once the price is agreed we visit to measure the fixing face, check what is behind it, work out the power route for anything illuminated, and decide the access method. That last part matters in the town centre, where loading windows are short and a platform may need booking well in advance.
Business park landlords often want documentation before we set foot on site, so we supply insurance details, a risk assessment and a method statement on request and work to their permit process. We fit Monday to Friday in working hours as standard. Evening fitting for occupied offices, or an early start for retail, can be arranged on request, at extra cost. Artwork, LED specifications and paint references stay on file for repeat orders and replacements.
Coverage
Reading sits inside our regular Thames Valley run, so getting to site is easy. We cover the town, the surrounding suburbs and the business parks either side of the M4, and we install nationwide for clients with sites elsewhere.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
We produce visuals showing the sign on a photograph of your actual building, with sizes, materials and finishes noted. You get to see it in position before anything is made. Changes at that stage cost nothing, which is the point of doing it.
As standard, yes. We install Monday to Friday in working hours. Where loading restrictions or footfall make that awkward on a centre frontage, an early morning slot can be arranged on request, at extra cost. We agree the slot and access method with you before the install date.
Yes. We survey each location, produce a pack showing every sign, make the whole set together so it matches, then install to a programme that suits your operations. Sites outside the Thames Valley are covered by the same teams travelling out.
Typically two to three weeks from approved artwork. That covers fabrication, paint, LED build and testing. Electrical connection needs a qualified electrician, and we either supply one or work alongside yours, whichever suits.
Yes. Removal, disposal and making good the fixing face are part of the quote where they apply. We photograph the substrate once the old sign is down so any repair needed is agreed before the new one goes up.
