House Names & Numbers
Painted with elegance and durability
Your property deserves better than a number screwed to a wall.
A hand-painted house name or number is one of the smallest changes you can make to a property and one of the most transformative. Done well, it signals something about the people inside — that they care about craft, that they notice details, that this is a home with character. Done by Delicious Signs, it'll still look good in twenty years.
The process is straightforward. You choose the surface — slate, stone, timber, brick, a gate or a door — and we talk through the style. Something clean and contemporary with a modern sans-serif. Something classical with gilded capitals and a border. Something playful and illustrative that reflects the name of the house itself. Whatever direction you want to go, the design is drawn up for your approval before any paint is mixed.
The painting is done on-site or, for smaller pieces like slate plaques and wooden boards, in the studio and delivered ready to hang. Paints are chosen for the surface and the exposure — exterior work is finished with UV-resistant, weatherproof enamels that hold their colour through whatever the British weather decides to do.
Hand-painted house signs work on virtually any surface and in virtually any style. They make excellent gifts — for a housewarming, a new home, a milestone birthday. They add instant kerb appeal and, unlike a vinyl sticker or a laser-cut acrylic panel, they only get better with age.
House numbers can be painted directly onto stone, render, tile, or a wooden panel. House names can be lettered in the same way, or painted onto a removable board or plaque that travels with you if you move.
If you have an idea in mind — a style, a colour, a font you've seen somewhere — bring it. If you're starting from scratch, that's equally fine. The consultation is free, there's no minimum job size, and the results are one of a kind.
