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 installation or removal damage the surface?
No. When vinyl is correctly applied over sound surfaces (like factory vehicle paint or cured wall paint) and removed correctly, there should be no damage. We assess surface quality beforehand and advise if repairs are needed prior to installation.
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.
What if my site access is difficult?
We conduct site surveys to assess access. Our quotes include any necessary specialized equipment, such as cherry pickers, scaffolding, or traffic management, to ensure a safe and professional installation.
Who handles the final electrical connection for my illuminated sign?
While we build, install, and test the internal LEDs, the final connection to the mains power must be completed by a licensed electrician. We are happy to coordinate with your preferred sparky or arrange one of our trusted partners to finish the job as part of our install.
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.
