Due to modern materials and production techniques, the traditional art of signwriting is becoming a less significant trade. Maidstone Signs however, still have 2 fully trained staff in all aspects of sign- writing and guilding. If you require the very traditional look of hand painted lettering and pictures then look no further. The Kent Fire & Rescue Service still require all their honours boards to be guilded with gold leaf. Blundell's, the Sittingbourne based furniture company also chose a traditional look for their signs, opting for red painted lettering with a gold shade. Other Popular requirements for signwriting today include pub signs, classic vehicles, fairground rides, house names, and honours boards.
