About Street Name Sign Plates

Street name signs in the UK are used at each end and entrance to a road to inform drivers and pedestrians; the sign will display the familiar "T" (no through road) symbol if it is a dead end. Our permanent custom road signs can be made exactly to your specifications, whether that be dimensions or design.

British street signs can be mounted in various ways, depending on the area's needs. They may have no fixings, have holes drilled in the edges, or be mounted on rails for greater flexibility. Plain options that don't have fixings are meant to be attached to existing frames using an adhesive, whereas those with holes in are to be bolted to an existing frame. Rail-mounted signs can be attached to many different surfaces, from fences to posts to walls; when using the correct clips, this option provides the most versatility in mounting.

Permanent street name signs are designed to withstand the elements and last for years; many of our range have a warranty of 10+ years, making them an excellent investment for property developers, local councils, and homeowners. Built from durable materials like aluminium, composite and polycarbonate, UK street signs resist fading (usually from UV), corrosion, and damage from adverse weather conditions. 

Upon purchase, we will send you a proof of design showing the exact dimensions of your finished sign so you can make any final adjustments before the sign is made. If you have any personalised needs, please contact us!


Embossed Road Signs

Embossed (die pressed) road signs are shaped through die-pressing to create raised, semi-sheared lettering according to local authority specifications. They are then dipped in a heat-hardened paint for an almost indestructible colour finish, providing durability far beyond that of flat adhesive lettering.

Composite Road Signs

Composite signs are manufactured layering plastics and metals (usually aluminium), offering a lightweight alternative to pure aluminium signs, without sacrificing durability. These signs are particularly resistant to corrosion and ideal for locations where longevity and strength are essential, but weight might be a concern.

Aluminium Road Signs

Aluminium signs for streets are heavier and more expensive than the rest of our range, but are the most recyclable of our signs at the end of their significantly long lifespans. Metal street signs tend to be made from aluminium.

Personalised Street Signs for the UK

Our whole range can be prepared as custom made street signs to address any of your needs. Personalised Road Signs can be made to fit the exact proportions of your existing frame; useful when refacing a sign. On top of this, customisation options allow you to add more custom options such as logos, crests, postcodes, font changes, and different colour schemes!

Getting The Best Permanent Street Name Sign For Your Needs

Our road signs all come from accredited road sign suppliers and conform to British standards. We can, however, offer more flexibility of customisation if this isn’t needed. Consider the following before you purchase road signs.:

Reflectivity

We offer increased reflectivity options (RA1 and RA2) for better visibility of the sign - designed for high-traffic areas, so signage can be seen day and night.

Installation

Consider where and how the sign will be installed and mounted. Different fixing methods are optimal for different installation methods. Consider rail mounted signs for versatility, and unmounted signs for flexibility.

Material

Where will your sign be installed? Consider how durable your signage needs to be, and how long it needs to be installed. All our permanent street name sign plates are designed to last years, but embossed signs are known for being the most durable and lasting the longest.

Road Signs for Private Roads

English street signs for private roads are subject to less regulation, and thus personalised street name signs can be made more to residents’ tastes and wants. Custom street signs are perfect for this use-case.
