Traditional Signwriting, Gilding and Glass Signs.
Handpainted Large Graphics and Murals

Where Creativity and Inspiration Unite.

Established in 1985, Hertford Signs specialise in preserving heritage design through bespoke hand-painted lettering, large scale patterns, and traditional glass sign work.

We are proud to work for small companies, national chains and some of the UK’s leading hospitality design agencies, maintaining long working relationships over many years.

Combining time-honoured craftsmanship with artistic precision, we create authentic, durable visuals for historic properties, shopfronts, and commercial interiors.

Our dedicated artisans utilize traditional techniques to deliver high-end, custom-crafted signage and graphics.

* Traditional Signwriting and large-scale patterns painted directly onto timber fascias, brickwork, and textured plaster surfaces as well as handcrafted timber signs and fascias.

* Gold Leaf Gilding: Application of premium 23.25-carat gold leaf to glass, wood, and metal.

* Traditional Glass Signage: Custom-designed pub signs, mirrored panels, and architectural glass features using classic reverse-glass painting techniques

Every project we undertake begins with detailed layouts, ensuring correct typographic scale and historical accuracy. The results offer depth, texture, and character that modern vinyl prints simply cannot replicate.

This specialized work allows heritage properties, independent boutiques, and traditional public houses to command a distinctive, prestigious presence on the high street.
