My approach - you'll be dealing with me Robert, from the start:

First of all, I make every UK house sign individually, they're personalised and bespoke, hand crafted and beautiful. Each one made from 100% legal and sustainable British 'Grown in Britain' wood. My workshop has a very low carbon footprint and it's even designed to have a light touch on the environment and to encourage a wildlife habitat, an eco-system all of its own.

With a period property you can either choose a traditionally accurate approach or a bang on contemporary 'natural' approach.

First impressions are everything, so they say. So, if you're looking to elevate the appearance of your house sign, either for your own satisfaction or perhaps to make it more appealing for sale. Either way I'll make it for you, and make it look right.

Popular Questions


  • How big should a wooden house sign be?

    For your house name or number to be read from a distance or for the parcel delivery person to read it from their van, I suggest the text needs to be a minimum height of 50mm. However, that can still look at bit mean.  To have an impact, be  well designed and be noticable, the height of the wooden house sign needs to be a minimum of 250mm. With illustrations, I often make house signs with a width of about 1m. 

  • What is the best material for a UK house sign?

    I always say British 'Grown in Britain' wood. Better for the planet, helps the British rural community, and if designed and crafted well, it will be an object of art to grace your home and to be proud of.  Larch is my wood of choice for a UK house sign. Oak is often offered, but that will probably go a dirty grey colour and split.

  • I want a UK house sign entirely different from any other?

    Great! As an artificer, I shall be very happy to make a wooden house sign to your design, tell me more.

  • Are your wooden house signs truly British?

  • Are your eco-friendly UK house signs very expensive?

    Well, they do cost more than the ones designed by computer and made by robots.  But they're not as expensive as you may think, so let me know roughly what  you have in mind and I can tell you how much it will cost  - for which there is no charge.

  • Surely design is everything in a wooden house sign?

    You can say that again!  High quality design will tell a good wooden house sign apart from an okay one. Here at Ingrained Culture, you shall be fully involved in the design. There are no software constraints. 

  • Which UK wooden house sign Company is the Best?
