Building positive communities with quality signs

Watford Community Housing

We have worked with Watford Community Housing for around ten years on key projects; focusing on sign design, creation and installation across its communities.

Watford Community Housing is a housing association that owns and manages more than 5,000 homes across South-West Hertfordshire.

The Brief

After a rebrand, Watford Community Housing wanted to showcase their fresh new identity in local communities. They had two clear goals: 

  • Replace all old signage with a more premium, high-quality design
  • Fix issues like vandalism and fading from previously installed signs

What We Did to Help

To begin with, we started by meeting the client on-site. This helped us understand the project and discuss expectations clearly.

Since the work spanned several locations, we conducted surveys at each one. Consequently, this step ensured we recommended the right sign types—such as post-mounted signs, building names, and wayfinders. Every site needed a tailored solution.

In addition, we held boardroom discussions to tackle challenges like vandalism and fading. Drawing from our experience, we provided samples of products known to last.

Moreover, throughout the process, we stayed in touch with the client. This made it easy to track progress and handle any changes quickly.

 We were mindful of residents too. Therefore, we kept noise levels low and respected their privacy while working.

To address this, we created anti-vandal signs for every neighbourhood. These signs hold up well and stay fresh for years. Furthermore, each one also came with a 10-year guarantee, offering extra peace of mind.

This was a big project, yet it was worth it. We’re proud of the final result. Above all, residents shared great feedback. The signs truly improved the neighbourhoods and boosted the image of Watford’s brand. 

We’ve had lots of positive feedback from tenants and members of the public. Great improvement!
