The best place to hang your sign is in clear view of the pavement or road. We recommend hanging your sign approximately 5 feet high. This is in eye view of the majority of people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide that you want to replace your house number with a house name then get in touch with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/find-local-council\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local council<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do I Fit A House Sign?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main types of fixings for house signs. These are either &#8216;through hole&#8217; or &#8216;hidden fixings&#8217;. All of our house signs come with a fixings kit and full instructions. However, sometimes it is easier to watch someone else do it first.
