Frequently asked questions
Where do I start?
Please get in touch with us in the earliest stage of your process as possible – this will allow us to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible. We can assist in all steps of the process, from logo design and brand development all the way through to signage installation.
Do you offer design and artwork services?
Yes. We can create new designs from scratch, adapt existing artwork, or prepare print-ready files.
Can you match our specific brand colors and fonts?
Yes. We use professional color-matching workflows (Pantone/CMYK) and can reproduce custom fonts and finishes.
Will illuminated signs significantly increase my power bill?
No. Modern LED modules are highly energy-efficient and run at a much lower cost than older fluorescent or neon systems. We spec our LEDs for the best balance of brightness and economy.
Do you handle council consents and permits?
Responsibility for council consents and permits rests with the client, but we’re happy to provide help to make the process go smoothly. We can provide the necessary proofs, material specifications, and advice on local requirements to support your application.
Can you remove my old signage or graphics before starting?
Yes. We offer a full “strip and prep” service. We can professionally remove old vinyl, decommission old lightboxes, and responsibly dispose of or recycle old materials so your new branding has a perfectly clean surface.
What happens if my sign or graphics get damaged?
Because we keep all your digital artwork on file, we can quickly produce and apply repairs, ensuring your signage always looks its best. Drop us a line or send through a photo of the damage, and we’ll get it sorted.
Important: If the damage has created a potential hazard, please contact us immediately. We will mobilize as quickly as possible to secure the signage and restore safety.
How long will it take to complete my signage job?
Project durations at Timaru Signs depend on the complexity and size of your request. We aim for a speedy turnaround on every job, ensuring your brand gets noticed as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. If you have a specific deadline you need to meet, we can usually make it work – please be sure to mention this to our helpful staff when you enquire.
