Helpful Questions

  • I need a house sign in a very particular style.

    Good, that's what Robert of Ingrained Culture likes best. Any style or fashion is possible. Just complete the enquiry form and Robert will be in touch.

  • I want an artist to make my house sign, is that possible?

    Yes, Robert is a full time sculptor, he uses hand and eye alone so you will receive a very personal design and making process.

  • What does a wooden ecofriendly house sign cost?

    Well, everyone is different and unique and so there isn't just one price. Most people spend somewhere between £125 and £450 - that's what a personalised house sign similar to the ones above would cost.  However, it is possible for me to make a lovely British house sign for as little as £125. Large 2D hand painted illustrated signs are often £800 to £1000 3D sculpted signs start from £800 and are often priced between £1000 to £2000.

  • What do you get someone who has everything?

    That's a difficult one to answer, but you can gift them either a house name or number sign, garden sculpture or architectural sculpture, this includes the whole design process and regular video updates for them to be involved in.

  • Do you cover the whole of Scotland?

    My workshop is in South Ayrshire and delivery is countrywide. Highlands and Islands sometimes incurr addtional delivery costs.

  • Can I design my house sign?

    Yes, I can make a sign to your design. Or, I positively encourage you to participate in the design process, if you're nearly there but want some input from me. Or, we'll design it together.
