Make life easy, use our signage installation service

Our team has over 40 years of expertise, which means you get a first class service and all the knowledge we have accumulated, whether it be a sign at height, a sign that needs to work around piping, hanging, on a busy road, with planning or that requires a hole in the ground, make the most of our service.

Horsham Football Club Stadium Sign for the new season

We’ve been manufacturing and installing signage at the Camping World Stadium since Horsham FC started building there in 2018. Obviously with each passing football season new sponsorship is secured and signage has to be updated or added to the grounds including stands, pitch side perimeter boards and dugouts.

This season sees sponsorships from HeatSmart, Durrant Removals and FJN Solutions added to the long stand. These are slightly different from our usual signs as they are digitally printed onto polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is ideal for this placement as it can withstand high impacts. We have digitally printed the sponsor logos and messages, laminated them and backed them with polycarbonate. Installed by our team each section has a few millimetres in between, giving them room to expand and contract with the weather. Installed over the period of a day, the boards were manufactured in 2-meter sections, and you can watch them in this shortened video – the full-length video is on our YouTube channel.

New shop signage for Eltons Estate Agents

Shop fascias are one of the most popular types of signs we manufacture, but no two are the same unless it’s a double-fronted shop like this for new Estate Agents; Eltons. Their new premises on Queens Street, Horsham features a fascia that required building around a downpipe giving the install team an extra challenge.  The sign also features laser-cut acrylic lettering and CAD-cut vinyl.  

The client said, “Pete has made our vision into a reality and we love it already.”

Our relationship with Eltons’ Estate Agents has grown from helping them set up the shop with pavement signs, posters and window graphics, to the large shop signage, wall graphics, and banner, making full use of our products and services both inside and out.

Andrew Shipp Autos, using existing signs

Andrew’s new car showroom in Roffey has been an MG and also a Jeep showroom in the past few years, so it made sense for Andrew Shipp Autos or ASA to make use of what was already there in terms of signage.

Creating fascia and protruding signs on ACM (aluminium composite material) that were covered in vinyl with branded logos and then placed where existing signage sits. Therefore making use of space already used for the purpose of signage and making a smooth installation.

Jones & Tomlin, new Guildford store

Jones & Tomlin have opened a new store in Guildford with two floors of premium beds, mattresses and bedding. Each floor has brands such as Manor Rose, Erol, Hastens, idyll, and Hypnos showcasing their wares, so the internal spaces are branded with their logos and images. We manufactured laser-cut acrylic signs and lettering to be fitted in-store, along with large-format printed posters, and different types of printed and CAD-cut graphics. Our team then installed all these in the various areas and internal walls.

Having already updated the Horsham Bedding Centre branch in 2018, we knew many of the brands but also the teams at Jones and Tomlin, so we were delighted to be involved in the new store.

Summer signage, to attract and brand your space

With the daylight growing and the temperatures rising, now is a great time to invest in your signage and ensure potential customers know all about your business. Outdoor signs such as café barriers and pavement signs can not only brand a space, but help to decorate it, add a perimeter, direct, and inform.

If you walk down a high street or through a park, when the sun is out you may look to sit at a café, pub, coffee shop, or patisserie. Position a flag to add movement and height, a pavement sign to showcase your opening times and directions, a noticeboard for menu options, and exterior signage with built-up lettering for added wow and footfall that can quickly be changed into a trade or purchase.

Summer signage doesn’t just have to be retail space, many of these options have the flexibility to be moved. Summer events, fetes and fayres can use flags, A-Boards, and banners to signpost, fence off and brand an area. Use correx signs for temporary use with printed posters, and informative and safety messages.

Example of LED Neon signage

Don’t forget your customised summer uniform!

Staff can be dressed in printed t-shirts and brightly coloured caps, allowing customers to be able to spot any member of your team and immediately see your business as professional and trustworthy. Our sister company; AppliedFX can brand and personalise a wide range of summer clothing, including screen-printing, heat-applied transfers, DTG, embroidery and sublimation.

Selling on the road

Vehicles that transform into bars, food outlets and showrooms are in higher demand during the summer months. We have wrapped, covered, and applied graphics to a wide range of such vehicles in all shapes and sizes including a pop-up store for the Green People, a horsebox that turns into a bar and various food trucks, including ice-cream vans. Ensure all sides are covered with branding that can advertise whilst on the road and then once set up, showcase your business and brand.

Lakems Bar | Horsebox | Vehicle Signage

Summer signage essentials:

  • Printed flags with various types of bases.
  • Full colour printed banners; PVC-Free banner material options available.
  • Pavement signs, in addition to chalkboard and poster options.
  • A-Boards, easier to move and store with panel, poster, and tactical header options.
  • Café barriers and banners, with posts and stands.
  • Window graphics, changeable with CAD cut or digitally printed options.
  • LED Neon, your logo, quote, or lettering in a new type of neon, is a big trend for 2023.
Outdoor Flags can be a variety of sizes

Think outside the box

If you are looking for something a little different to add to your space, and entice people in once they have found you look to these options:

Attract and add presence!

Visually telling people about your business via a sign is an effective way to draw attention. First impressions count, so add your logo, contact details and important information at a glance. Be concise and clear, capture people’s attention and keep it.

We can discuss your current signage, and upcoming events, or help with a site survey. BEL Signs has been established for over 40 years and has a creative team of designers, a factory manufacturing quality signs and an expert installation team.

Enhance your signage with built-up and 3D lettering

Most signage is flat, from fascia to plaques, but built-up elements can easily enhance interior and exterior signage. We can manufacture a range of 3D items in a wide range of materials and finishes. Sections, backgrounds, logos and lettering can be built up in layers or as individual components.

Here are some examples of recent projects using this type of signage to great effect:

Izmir Bar & Grill, East Street, Horsham: Interior 3D lettering with illumination

The popular Turkish restaurant; Izmir has two large signs inside both featuring mirror gold lettering and illumination. The large feature wording above the kitchen started as digitally printed graphics applied to a sign tray. Black 3D cut lettering with Halo Effect LED lighting on the reverse was then attached to the sign tray with holes for further electronics. Mirror gold cut ACM lettering was applied to the face of the 3D lettering for a final high finish.

This now compliments the ‘House of Cocktails’ lettering along the front of the bar. These 16 letters are 30mm built-up stainless steel and electroplated to a Mirror Gold finish. Again, the lettering adds a real wow factor to the interior.

Westvale Park Primary Academy, Horley: Exterior built-up lettering

The Academy was looking to add some more signage to the new premises. Built in 2021 it has large feature canopies, however it lacked signage. With large router-cut aluminium composite (ACM) lettering, the main door entrance is now clearly labelled with 20cm high letters sitting on top of the framework. A gloss grey was covered on top to match the branding.

This was part of a larger signage manufacturing order, including an exterior tray sign, and shaped signage, all installed by our expert team.

Garden Buildings on the Hill, Crawley Down: Acrylic Sign with build-up letters

The new garden building business, Garden Buildings on the Hill… is based inside World of Water in Crawley Down, and required a large amount of way-finding and branding signage for the premises, with over 15 signs including ACM, printed banners and roadside signage.

Their main business sign is an acrylic sign cut to shape to fit on the apex of a shed, featuring a coloured background and cut-out logo and lettering built-up on top. The sign is a great way to promote and highlight the sales office.

Other case studies

We have completed some large-scale exterior signage that includes 3D lettering, read more about these and more on our other website pages:

Personalise your Coronation event with signage and clothing

The King’s Coronation is on the 6th of May but events will be running days before and the week after. Individuals, Local authorities and councils are planning street parties, also ‘Big Lunches’, volunteering opportunities and events. Ensure you have the promotional, celebratory and temporary signage you need to get people involved and make sure it is unforgettable!

Commemorative Event Signage

Think about signage that informs, directs, adds to the experience and is branded.

Signage for an event may also need to be flexible, movable and temporary.

Think about how it can be accessed, is it easy to read, is it movable, can it be seen?

Signage such as posters, banners, flags, t-shirts, stencils and A-Boards are ideal. Signs can then be repositioned, folded away or cable-tied onto fences and posts will make your event much easier to organise. Add contact details, a call to action and the Coronation emblem to your designs. If you don’t have a designer use our design services to help create your message.

Safety First

Who is a staff member or a volunteer? By clothing your helpers and organisers in a brightly coloured cap, t-shirt or hi-vis tabard at first glance they are easy to spot. Our sister company, AppliedFX, can offer a catalogue of garments with vibrant colours or safety options, for any weather. Our branding options include heat-applied transfers and screen-printing, both ideal for events.

You may need to consider some Health & Safety signage, such as ‘Keep Out’ or ‘Report to’ safety notice signs, First-Aid signs or Safety Boards. We can create signage on a range of materials for temporary use and these can have holes for cable ties, or be tailored to your requirements.

Promotional items to giveaway or keep

Clothing can be commemorative, giveaways or keepsakes. Our branding doesn’t stop at clothing, we can also supply and personalise items such as tote bags, tea towels and towels.

Gym Signage, a moving market

You are never far from a gym; there are at least three near us and 11 within Horsham. If you don’t visit the gym odds are you know someone who goes regularly, and like any business, they require signage and often, more.

DUAL strength and fitness

DUAL strength and fitness are just around the corner from us on Blatchford Road and have been clients since 2015 when they first opened their Horsham site. From external signage to dumbbell stickers they have a strong brand with bright green and black. Recently we have sign-written their FORD transit custom with large understated vinyl in a matt black onto the high gloss of the van paintwork.

But it is not just signage we provide to DUAL, recent products have included:

  • An external building sign: ACM tray with CAD-cut vinyl
  • Internal wayfinding signage with digital print, laminated on 3mm foamex
  • PVC labels cut to shape for drinking bottles

Your Zone 45

Based within The Holbrook Club, Your Zone 45 is part of a UK-based franchise. Opened in 2019 we provided the main external signage on the main entrance featuring large digitally printed graphics in the corporate style, on the door panels. Over the top of the door and along the whole entrance area is a box-folded tray sign with 5mm acrylic text lettering and overhead bar lights to illuminate.

Inside the premises, we supplied and installed graphics on the walls and glass in addition to built-up lettering to be a feature on one wall. The lettering is 30 cm high and has been laser cut from coloured acrylic sheets and installed with locators so it stands away from the wall.

The Gym at Horsham Golf

There has always been a fitness suite at Horsham Golf, now The Gym at Horsham Golf has new signage complimenting the website and branding of the golf course. A client since 2009, Horsham Golf has had a huge range of signage products and services from us: traffic signs, printed posters and banners, honours boards and directional signage.

The new internal signage for The Gym at Horsham Golf features a large format digital print, laminated onto a large ACM sheet and installed in place. A faded image sits behind the branding and services.

Not just Gyms, Fitness too

The fitness and gym sectors overlap, however without the large premises of a gym, fitness training can be held as a class almost anywhere and often on a very personal one-to-one level.

Sensia rebrand and refresh

Rockwell Automation and Schlumberger created Sensia early in 2019. A global company, we began work on the rebranding within their Tunbridge Wells building late in 2019 as well as their Gatwick offices. Some signage changed in colour, from red to the Sensia-branded violet, other signs were newly manufactured.  In addition, we have added internal wall graphics, directory signage, window graphics and some CAD cut graphics, see our gallery below.

Replacing, refreshing and rebranding

This year we replaced exterior and internal signage, from small vinyl detailing to large letters over a metre tall upon the exterior.

Highlights of the work so far:

  • The Sensia logo in 5mm thick acrylic with the corporate colour violet applied to the face in vinyl and to glass in the reception area
  • Digital print to the internal wall as corporate branding
  • Wrapped large parts of the training room with the corporate colours
  • Updated directory signage featuring new colours and graphics.

Corporate signs, big and bold

Now the entire interior ground floor signs have been refreshed, the outside need to be updated. Over three days our installation team fitted 3D stainless steel lettering that had been sprayed to the Pantone colour. The prominent signage was over 5 metres in length and 700mm tall and 60mm in depth the smaller signage lettering was over 3 metres wide and 450mm high. Each sign also has an accompanying tagline in 5mm acrylic.

Welcome and Training spaces

The training room involved wrapping plinths and presentation spaces, but with the previous red colour being so bright, we used a vinyl with a grey backing that prevented the old colour from showing through (Metamark MD5A-B).

Signwriting vehicles, not just vans

Van signwriting is great for business, but what if your work vehicle is a little different to your average transit? Not a problem!

From plant machinery, tippers, and trailers to vehicles with canter boxes and ones with flaps, we can design, manufacture and install a creative solution to work for you.

Here are a few recent projects to highlight uncommon vehicle signage:

The Green People | Mobile Display Vehicle | Digital Prints

Having already worked with the team at The Green People, Horsham on their new store they came to us with a much bigger project; a mobile sales van. Supplying us with artwork, we worked together on ensuring the large format prints could work within the various panels. The van has large sides that open out along with a hatch, turning it into a mobile store and display unit. Each section and panel has a large format digital print with lamination and transparent protective film using Metamark MD5A and MG705. Install by our team took a day and the vehicle went on to have a successful day at the Hove Cricket ground promoting sun cream and skin care.

“We love it! You’ve done an amazing job”

SJM Landscapes | Isuzu DFSK Loadhopper | Printed Graphics

SJM Landscapes are a long-standing client of ours; having had a fleet of 20+ vehicles sign written for various teams and projects since 2015.  The majority of them feature a large SJM logo on the cab fading into the background colour of the vehicle. We use Metamark vinyl to print the logo, details and accreditations. These are also installed onto the tailgate and sides. This Isuzu is really a minivan with a tipper, compact and ready for its next landscaping job at SJM.

Scriven Industries Ltd Arboriculture | Mitsubishi Canter Box Truck | Digital Prints

Local arboriculturist, Alistair Scriven required vehicle sign writing on three sides of this box truck; however, the rear doors have large locks and brackets. Rather than budget for a large amount of time to wrap them, our designer cleverly used our vinyl cutter to cut a specific shape for each door. The large format prints covered the sides completely; all were laminated and installed at our factory on Blatchford Road.

George Potbury Forestry | Ford Transit 2016 Tipper | Printed Graphics and CAD Cut Vinyl

Our working relationship with George goes back nearly ten years, having not only signwritten vehicles, but also printed a wide range of items from stationery to various sizes of flyers, and seasonal signage.

This Ford Transit Tipper features printed graphics on the vehicle cab and bonnet in addition to two ACM panels fixed to the sides of the tipper to allow for flat artwork. This tipper joins a fleet, with this being the 7th vehicle we have sign written for George Potbury Forestry.

Fresh rebranded monoliths and signage for In Partnership, Horsham

Monolith and canopy signage for rebranded In Partnership

BEL Signs and In Partnership have been working together since 2010, having supplied printed roll-up banners and pop-up signs for a golf day. Since then we have manufactured and installed a wide array of signage. The most prominent of these has been the signage to the front of the Online House on North Street. Installed in 2011 it has just been updated twice, but now with its new branding.

Original and updated

When In Partnership came to us in 2011 the building was plain from the outside. Exterior signage from the pavement not only acts as wayfinding but also provides information and advertising. Two monoliths have been installed on either side of the stairs into the building, allowing customers to find them in whichever direction they are coming from, the town centre or the train station. These monoliths have blue sides with digital prints on one side.  Above the door, an aluminium panel cut to the shape of the logo, at the time, featuring a swirl and the working ‘partnership ’in a transparent rectangle has been replaced with a larger sheet of clear acrylic with digital print to one side.

Rebranded signage continues inside with reception and stairwell signage and outside with car park and an engraved plaque with infilled corporate colours.

Monolith signage for your business or premises

Monoliths are great for businesses looking to make an impact with their signage. Freestanding, they act as a brand marker and can emphasise the entrance space from the pavement and roadside, allowing for a clear destination. They can be single or double-sided and range in height, size and colour. Digital print allows for any message and branding on either side. Add a printed listed directory and arrows to ensure people can easily find their way, especially if there is more than one business on the premises. Installed as a monolith, looking like a slab coming up from the ground, or a more totem style with feet, the styles are endless.
