Our experienced board erectors are fully aware of the board erecting regulations and will always ensure your boards are correctly displayed. They will where possible strap boards using steel banding, this reduces the volume of re-installations required. Our fleet of vans are all fitted with vehicle trackers, giving us instant access to each driver’s location and real time updates of when and where each sign was installed. The Crest View Signs team have been installing boards over the last 15 years. We have built up an efficient and reliable reputation. Our teams cover a 30 mile radius of the M25 area.
The agency board lifecycle
Crest View Signs can cover all aspects of the residential board lifecycle that you require. From design and manufacture through to storage, installation and repair and disposal.
Design
Sit down with our team of designers to discuss your requirements and if necessary design your boards.
Once you’re satisfied with the visuals, we will then print your boards.
Storage
Your boards are then transferred to our sign installation warehouse while we await your installation orders.
Installation
When your stock levels are running low, the warehouse will contact our office to seek approval for a new print run.
You can enter and leave this life-cycle at any point. If you have already printed your boards elsewhere, or use an alternative printer, then you are welcome to use our sign installation service with your own boards.
We process orders 24 hours a day 7 days a week through our on-line ordering system. Existing clients can log in here. This gives you a live window into our order book for your account. There is never a case of lost or ‘un-received’ orders. The moment you create a new order, we have it captured in our warehouse; you can also see it immediately in your order list. We process same day orders up to 5pm Monday to Friday. Orders are completed on a 24/48 hour basis.
A board ordered on Monday at 4pm will go up on either Tuesday or Wednesday. We are covered by public liability insurance to give all parties the peace of mind that if something terrible did occur with one of your boards, we are completely covered.
Boards can be produced installed either as T boards, where the post goes up the inside of the board or as a Flag board, where the board is fixed at the side to the post, creating a flag effect.
Each board is printed differently and it is important to decide on this at design stage.
V boards are erected at first floor level and generally two boards are put together to create a V shape. We can however provide framed V boards which are more durable and provide a more professional look.
Slips
Slips are usually printed at the same time as the boards. These allow for the boards wording to be changed, for example changing a ‘For Sale’ board to read ‘Sold’.
Posts
Posts are 50mm2 and range from 8ft to 10ft in length. They come as standard in white, however they can be painted to any colour you wish. All our timber comes from sustainable resources.
Fixings
Nylon fixings enable a board to be attached to a post and then slips to be attached to the board. There are six standard colours – White, Black, Yellow, Red, Blue and Green. However it is possible to match to a specific colour if required.
Metal Stakes
Sometimes it is not possible to attach a board to a property. The solution is to stake the board into the ground. We provide 50mm stakes designed specifically for use with estate agency boards in mind. Driven 2ft in into the ground, these ensure your boards will remain firmly in place.
