We don't have a house number outside our house at the moment and my husband likes the way some house have it painted/stencilled on in black on the wall near the door of the house. Is there someone local who can do this, or is it something you would do yourself with a stencil?


Thanks so much!

I'd be inclined to use a professional sign writer- mainly because my attempt to stencil (basic) numerals on our bins was a disaster! Quick google search throws up:

There must be lots more around- perhaps you could knock on a house with a painted number and ask who they used.

Hello,


This isn't what you asked for but it could be a much cheaper option....


I bought my house number from ebay a few years ago. It was seriously cheap (about ?10) and although it's about 5 years old now there isn't a mark on it (i.e. not weathered at all) and I still think it looks super-stylish. Also, it stands out so delivery people etc can easily find the house number. I don't have the name of the ebay seller but it is similar to these

When I first bought it I thought "this is too cheap it must be rubbish"; but 5 years on and I'm still happy with it.


If you want to see mine then PM me and I'll send you my address so you can't check it out.

    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
