Hello. I am still in the workshop doing my best designing, making and fulfilling orders. Please get in touch if you have any bespoke order enquiries.
Thank you, Tim.
All my glass and slate backed house signs and plaques are handmade by me to a very high standard and are produced using 15mm thick glass, 10mm thick slate and are constructed using stainless steel fixtures. Letters, numbers and designs are sandblasted, carved, engraved into the back of the glass to create an embossed relief carved appearance from the front surface of the glass.
Standard lead time is 2 to 3 weeks from receipt of confirmed order.

Reviews
Tim’s House Number Plaque service is excellent. We wanted something unique and bespoke. My husband discovered Tim by chance, whilst doing a website search. We commissioned Tim to do a basic house plaque, which was simple but instantly stood out as being different and in a class of it’s own. We decided to approach Tim again, to design another plaque to go on our garage wall, as a Christmas gift to the house! Not only did Tim come up with a fabulous idea, he pulled all the stops out to create it on time for the festive day. His craftsmanship is second to none. He is also very attentive to your own input. He is a skilled artisan with an incredible flair for glass etching. His work is of outstanding quality. He comes highly recommended from us.
Thank you Tim for your wonderful work.
Kindest regards,
Mac and April Grayson, Leicestershire.
Hi Tim,
Hope you have had a good summer. Am now back from Scotland and able to send pics of sign in situ. (No internet there yet due to Hurricane Bertha!) Our cladding guy, seen in pic putting it up with Terry helping, was very impressed and we are really pleased with it. Thank you! Have put a couple of other pics of elevations for interest. Not quite finished yet – living roof to go on and things like guttering, landscaping etc. At least we know it survives hurricane rains, and that’s without guttering and downpipes! We got quite a hammering up there, several crofters had their sheep swept away in what was twice the average August rainfall in 6 hours. We also had a heatwave so a summer of extremes. We are constructing our website ready to get it rented out so keep an eye out for Sealoch House in the next couple of months.

Hi Tim
I wanted to say a very big thank you for the prompt friendly and professional service you provided me with the various design and style options for my new house sign.
The quality of the materials and the workmanship are truly outstanding and the sign is a stunning addition to my house.
I would highly recommend your service to anyone who is looking to buy a quality bespoke new house sign.

We are absolutely delighted with the house sign that Tim has created for us. The quality of the materials and finish sets them apart from anything else we had seen and simply exude skill and quality. Tim was extremely patient as we chose our design and asked him to come up with alternative fonts and dimensions, his attentiveness and great communication was particularly noteworthy. The sign was delivered exactly as promised and was superbly packaged, we couldn’t have been happier when we opened it.

We wanted something a little bit different to finish off our newly renovated home. I emailed Tim and he came back to me very quickly and was incredibly helpful. Our plaque arrived this morning and is on the wall, looking beautiful. I half thought of putting on the lounge wall as it really is a work of art. I would highly recommend Tim Carter to everyone!

After 25 years our Victorian house was getting a makeover from roof to skirting, I found Tim online and sent email enquiry on 1 July. I was after a prominent illuminated sign to go to one side of the front door and clearly visible from the busy road we are on. Tim was more than helpful, the mock up showed me exactly what it would be like, we discussed fonts and size and later my electrician contacted him to be sure we had that right too – it was easy. I confirmed the order on 10 July, Tim sent his quote on 12th. By August the illuminated sign had arrived. When I opened it I was delighted how impressive it looked – with slate backing, thick engraved glass and illuminated from the top – it comes on by light sensor in the evening. It is a VERY smart piece of equipment which has enhanced our house and it’s new look hugely. Also we have given it back it it’s Victorian name on the Deeds – Ferndale.
Thanks Tim, we are very proud of your work!!

I recently ordered a glass plaque from the above company, my wife and I are delighted with the plaque it is above and beyond what we expected, professional attention to detail through out and nothing was to much trouble, Tim was only to pleased to meet my requests during the manufacturing process.
I can thoroughly reccomend Tim Carter Artisan Glass and Slate signs. if you require house or door number signs or similar glass signs save yourself time and contact Tim Carter first.

We’ve had two signs made by Tim, and both are superb.
The large one looks very impressive, gently illuminated by our security light.
The smaller one was more bespoke than usual, an etched rose, but Tim took time and effort to cater for our specific requirements.
I’d thoroughly recommend Tim if you want something unique and special.
Thank you once again.
Nicholas
