Signage
From the fascia above your door to the safety signs inside your factory, we design, make and fit signage that does its job and keeps doing it.

[Placeholder copy] Signage is the original trade at Simply Stripes and it still runs through everything we do. For over 30 years we have made signs for shopfronts, factories, building sites, schools and council premises across County Durham and Teesside.
[Placeholder copy] Because we manufacture in our own workshop, you deal with the people actually making your sign. Surveys are done properly, fixings suit the actual wall they are going on, and if something needs adjusting after fitting, we are twenty minutes away, not a national call centre.
[Placeholder copy] Pick the service that fits below, or if you are not sure what your premises needs, send us a photo of the building and we will come back with options and honest prices.
The problems we solve
Customers walk past your door
[Placeholder] A tired or illegible fascia costs trade every day it stays up. Signage that reads clearly from across the street pays for itself.
Signs fitted badly, twice
[Placeholder] Wrong fixings on the wrong wall means doing it again. We survey the building first and specify fixings for what is actually there.
Nobody local to call
[Placeholder] When something needs adjusting after fitting, we are twenty minutes away rather than a national call centre and a ticket number.
How we do it
We come and look
[Placeholder] A survey, or a photograph and a registration, depending on the job. We measure the actual vehicle or building rather than working from assumptions.
You approve a proof
[Placeholder] Artwork laid out on your real vehicle template or building elevation, so you see the finished thing before anything is printed.
We make it here
[Placeholder] Printed, laminated and fabricated in our own Spennymoor workshop, on trade-grade materials specified for where the job will live.
Our own team fits it
[Placeholder] Fitted by the people who made it, in our indoor bays or on your site, with the access equipment and paperwork the job needs.
Our signage services
Who we have done it for
- Local government
Durham County Council
[Placeholder copy, to be approved by client before publication] A local authority needed signage across a varied estate of public buildings and sites: compliant safety signage, wayfinding and temporary works boards, delivered against procurement requirements and to public-sector standards.

What our customers say
[Placeholder testimonial, replace before launch] The vans came back looking better than the brochure. Honest advice, straight prices and the job was done when they said it would be.
Common questions
Do you handle planning permission for signs?
[Placeholder] Illuminated signs and some fascia changes need advertisement consent. We will tell you when consent applies and can prepare the drawings your application needs.
Do you fit signage or just make it?
[Placeholder] Both. Our own fitting team installs everything we make, with the right access equipment and RAMS documentation where sites require it.
How quickly can you turn a sign around?
[Placeholder] Simple printed signs and correx boards can be same-week. Fabricated fascia signs typically run [number] weeks from approved artwork. We will give you a firm date with the quote.
