Two colour signs seem to start at about £35-£40 for a single sign but you need to supply your artwork in a suitable format for printing. The more you order the cheaper they get but the more colours the more expensive they are.

Have a chat with your local sign maker! Don’t forget the signs need to SECURELY mounted to avoid causing injury if they fall off due to incompetant fixing or weather related issues. If putting up yourself make sure your public liability insurance is active!

Hey G,

I asked a few folks on Twitter. This is how it went down:

“Hugely dependent on number of colours and quantity, but I’d say about £6 on average with posts and slips.

Signworld.co.uk and signboard.co.uk are the usual suspects for agents”

I hope that helps!

Hey G,

I’ll try and find out what the going rate is for you, bear with me.

Although, I suspect it maybe a case of buying in bulk to save money!

I like option 3 the best and although I am an Agent I can asure you I’m not a c**t!
Let’s say I’m an Agent dealing with mine and my family’s properties only.

Anyway just a quick question: Where can I get these boards made cheaply? Any suggestions?
The cheapest I’ve manged to find so far is £35?? Please don’t tell me this is the going rate. It’s bloody expensive!!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ;-)

Regards,
