Painted numbers on property facades are very much in demand across London. A sign writer is the ideal profession for this, as the sign writer has the skill level, knowledge of typeography & design. Property appearance is more imperative than ever before, with a property number being an essential part of that.

To ensure a quality high end look & production of painted numbers to a property a sign writer should be the specialist to be called upon.

This property in Belgravia required numbering to match the neighbouring properties at the request of the client. unfortunately the neighbouring property was actually some vinyl stickers & these had actually been applied with so little care that they weren’t even applied upright. They were also starting to peel at the edges.

When tracing off the no.4 and drawing a no.3 it was clear to see just how badly the ’45’ had been applied. This on a property in West London, with the value it has & its importance to have such a high end appeal is just sub standard. It was likely to be down to a contractor cutting corners & aiming for more profits, but this is not ideal for the client/owner of the property.

The drawn out numbers are positioned into the ideal position on the stucco. In this instance it was wished to match the neighbouring property in terms of height but also be positioned under the wall light. Care is taken to trace off the image as neatly as posible, giving an ideal guide for sign writing.

The sign writing can then be produced. The railings proving a small obstacle, which would only have been more of an issue should the painted numbers be produced either on the left hand side of the property (not so much a problem for left handed painters) or if further along the stucco to the right.

Skill & care is taken to create neat, straight & crisp lines with the brush to give the best finish to the painted numbers as possible. Its all about the finished product, rather than the process, but the skill level in producing the sign writing has to be considered.
