What we do
We design and manufacture signs for care environments that name and picture each room in high contrast. That means door signs that name and picture toilets, lounges and dining rooms; directional signs that repeat the same words and pictograms along a corridor; and personalised bedroom signs carrying the resident's own name and photograph. Our range is designed to the published design guidance of the Dementia Services Development Centre on contrast, lettering and pictograms.
We are not a general signage reseller. Our entire catalogue — door signs, projecting signs, directional signage, decals and bespoke commissions — is purpose-built for care environments. We do not sell medical devices, pharmaceuticals or healthcare services.

How we work with you
- • Transparent pricing — the price on each product is the price of the sign. On our euro store it includes VAT; elsewhere, tax where it applies is added at checkout. Delivery is added at checkout, and everything added is shown before you pay.
- • 30-day returns — full details on our Returns page.
- • Secure checkout — payments processed via Shopify Payments with full PCI-DSS compliance. We never see your card details.
- • GDPR-compliant — see our Privacy Policy for how we handle your data.
- • Real humans — call us Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm GMT, or use the contact form at any hour. Australia and New Zealand sit outside that window, and the form does not need anyone at the desk.
