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

Following a rebrand, Watford Community Housing wanted to extend their fresh new look into their communities. They wanted to:

  • update all existing signs using a more prestigious and quality style
  • resolve the issue of vandalism and fading existing signs (created by another company)

What we did to help

As always, we started the process by meeting the client on site to go through the project and discuss their requirements.

As this was a large project at multiple locations, we carried out several surveys at each site to ensure we knew exactly which type of sign was needed where – for example building names, post mounted signs and directional/way finders. Every sites requirement was different.

We held several boardroom meetings to discuss the challenges of vandalism and fading signs. From our wealth of experience, we submitted products samples that we knew would work well.

We kept in touch with the client throughout this large project to ensure we were on track at all times.

During the project we had to be sensitive to residents needs and manage their expectations in terms of noise and privacy.

Anti-vandal signs were created for all neighbourhoods. This ensured that the signs remained looking as good as new for at least 10 years; and the issues of vandalism and fading signs disappeared.

The anti-vandal signs have a 10 year guarantee. Find out more here.

This was a fantastic project to be part of. It was a huge task, but we are extremely proud of the end result. Especially because of the great comments from the tenants themselves! The signs have really enhanced the neighbourhoods and also the quality of their brand.
