Slate House Number Signs

Crafted from Natural Slate
Our handcrafted slate house numbers combine the timeless beauty of natural stone with expert British craftsmanship. Made from genuine slate and individually finished in our Devon workshops, each piece is unique, displaying its own natural textures and markings. Whether your home is traditional or contemporary, a slate house number provides an elegant and practical way to make your property easy to identify.

For a softer, more organic look, we also offer a pale green colour inspired by Farrow & Ball’s Lichen, which complements the natural grey tones of the slate beautifully.
To enhance the depth of colour, the slate can also be oiled, which darkens the stone and brings out its natural character.

Slate House Numbers – Contemporary & Traditional Options
For a classic yet striking finish, we can blast away the background to leave raised numbers within a circle, oval, square, or rectangle. This method works best with bold fonts without fine lines, and the numbers are left unpainted for a natural stone finish.
For a more modern look, we also offer laser-etched house numbers. In this method, the surface is first coated with a tough, two-pack paint in one of our stock colours. The design is then precisely laser-engraved into the slate, revealing the natural stone beneath. This technique is especially effective for achieving fine detail and offers a sleek, contemporary appearance.

What are your slate house numbers made from?
Our slate house numbers are made from genuine natural slate, carefully selected for its quality and character. Every piece of slate has its own unique texture and natural markings, making each house number one of a kind.
Are slate house numbers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Natural slate is an exceptionally durable material that is ideal for outdoor use. It is weather-resistant, frost-resistant and will not rot, rust or warp, making it perfect for displaying house numbers all year round.
How are the numbers added to the slate?
The numbers are deeply engraved into the slate and then carefully hand paint-filled. This creates a crisp, attractive finish that is far more durable than surface printing and is designed to provide many years of outdoor life.
Will the paint-filled numbers fade?
Our engraved and paint-filled numbers are extremely long-lasting. Because the paint sits within the engraved recesses rather than on the surface, it is well protected from everyday wear and weathering, helping your house number remain clear and easy to read for many years.
Can I choose the font?
Yes. We offer a wide selection of fonts, from traditional to modern styles. If you have a preferred font, we will do our best to match it where possible.
Can I add a house name as well as the number?
Yes. We can engrave both a house name and house number onto the same slate plaque, creating a personalised design that complements your property.
Are bespoke sizes available?
Yes. In addition to our standard sizes, we can manufacture slate house numbers in custom sizes to suit your requirements. Simply contact us for a quotation.
What fixing options do you offer?
We offer a choice of fixing methods, including hidden fixings for a floating appearance or visible stainless steel screw fixings with decorative caps. We'll recommend the most suitable option for your installation.
Can I include a decorative image or motif?
Yes. We have a large collection of standard images and motifs that can be engraved alongside your house number, or we can often reproduce your own simple artwork.
How much maintenance does a slate house number need?
Very little. Slate is a naturally low-maintenance material. Simply clean it occasionally with warm water and a soft cloth or brush to keep it looking its best.
Will I receive a proof before my house number is made?
Yes. We send a design proof for your approval before manufacture, giving you the opportunity to check the layout, font and wording before production begins.
Are your slate house numbers made in the UK?
Yes. Every slate house number is individually designed, engraved and hand-finished by our skilled craftsmen at The Sign Maker in North Devon, ensuring a high-quality product that is made to last.
