Our Services

Consulting

The Signscape and Signconex team are committed to listening to your needs, working intimately with you during our rigorous consulting process to ensure the final products meet your client's signage requirements.

Survey

It all begins with a survey of the site location where your client's sign intends to sit. From here, we can get to work assessing the various sight options to help make the sign as effective as possible.

Design

Tall or small, wide, or thin, we’re committed to helping you achieve the perfect result with a generous suite of designs. Our expert team will design highly effective signage solutions for you and your client. We can also incorporate company graphics, logos, colours, and branding for business signs.

Manufacture

All our sign systems are manufactured in-house at our Bristol factory - including fabrication, printing, and finishing - allowing us to provide the highest quality products that meet your client's specifications as well as ensure you receive excellent customer service.

Installation

Depending on the type of sign system required, our team of installers can usually install it within 24 hours – usually less. That means you can spend less time waiting for your sign and your clients can spend more time putting it to good use.

Company History

1973

The start of SignCo Limited

Signco Limited, was formed by Jack Dawes and Dr Humphrey Chamberlain to take on the previous market leader in peg letterboards and planning systems, Movitex Limited. Signco became the market leaders for these products in less than 15 years. Both these founding families retain their interest and involvement in the business, covering the last 47 years.

The start of Signfix

Signfix was established by Bob Heard and John Snow. The business evolved from a shed in Axbridge, when the engineers created a sign fixing to attach signs to poles, bringing about the creation of sign fix channel and sign fixings, hence the name Signfix.

A broader range of products

Exterior noticeboards were initially added to the product portfolio to provide exterior solutions to display peg letterboards. The contemporary Scroll noticeboard range, a Design Award finalist, broadened the scope of Signco’s noticeboard range. These additions accommodated a variety of inserts, including fabric and cork pinboards, dry-wipe whiteboards and custom options.
