Hand-painted signwriting that stands out
Our team creates traditional and commercial signwriting using hand-painted methods, ensuring your business signage is truly distinctive. D W Grantham & Son produces signs that serve as a focal point for your business, helping you to attract attention and leave a memorable impression. If you need tailored shopfronts, fascia signage, or striking indoor lettering, each project is completed with the expertise developed over many years.
Everything is built for longevity and an eye-catching appearance, supporting your professional image. We work with a variety of clients, from independent shops to larger commercial sites, providing traditional signwriting you can rely on.

Our approach to signwriting
Every sign is painted by experienced craftsmen, using methods that have been passed down for generations since 1963. We never use mass-produced shortcuts; every detail is designed and painted by hand to provide a unique look. Our background includes both new commissions and the careful refurbishment of historic and listed signage, using genuine gold leaf for authentic finishes. We are always pleased to take on unusual projects, such as honours boards and narrow boats, making sure you receive a service shaped to your requirements. You get signwriting that reflects the true character of your business.
