Our Hoarding Printing Services
Printed Hoarding Graphics
We create bold, full-colour hoarding graphics that turn site boundaries into powerful marketing tools, ensuring your message stands out. Using durable ACM panels known for their strength and weather resistance, we deliver professionally finished hoarding in standard or custom-cut sizes, tailored to your site’s needs.
Sales Cabin Wraps & Marketing Suite Branding
In addition to hoarding graphics, we give your site offices, sales cabins, and marketing suites a professional edge with full-wrap graphics that both enhance visibility and strengthen brand impact. By combining striking design with precision installation, we create visuals that elevate your site presentation, reinforce your brand identity, and leave a lasting impression on visitors and potential buyers.
Construction Site Safety Boards
Beyond branding, we produce a full suite of construction signage to support CDM compliance and health & safety regulations. From mandatory notices and emergency contacts to permit-to-work zones and operational protocols, our boards are designed to clearly communicate vital site information, helping you keep your workforce informed while also ensuring your site remains fully compliant.
Mesh Banners & Heras Fence Covers
To further increase your site’s visibility, we brand fencing and scaffolding with weather-resistant mesh banners and Heras fence covers. These durable prints not only withstand the elements but also boost promotional reach and ensure your site makes a strong visual statement.
House Builder Flags & Installation
Our house builder flags create instant impact for new-build developments and marketing suites. Made from durable knitted polyester with weighted fittings, they stay bold and visible in all weather. Each flag is professionally installed after a detailed site survey and RAMS, ensuring a polished finish that complements your hoarding, signage, and monoliths.
Site Maps & Wayfinding Signs
Finally, we help showcase your development with printed acrylic site maps that combine clear navigation with striking visual mock-ups. Perfect for entrances and marketing suites, these maps highlight access points while also giving visitors a realistic view of the finished site, helping them visualise the development and find their way with ease.
Our Five-Step Hoarding Process
Detailed Site Survey & Measure-Up
It starts with a free site survey. We don’t just measure width; we assess ground level variations, gradients, and structural integrity. This ensures that when we print, your graphics flow perfectly over uneven ground without disjointed images.Material & Design Recommendation
Based on your budget and the site lifespan, we advise on the best substrates, from standard ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) to short-term PVC.Design & Visualisation
If you are designing the artwork, we provide a precise scale template for you to render your graphics onto. Alternatively, our in-house studio can create the design for you. In both cases, we provide visuals so you can see exactly how headers, kickers, and gates will look before we print a single panel.

Using durable substrates like ACM panels, PVC, and mesh banners, we produce sharp, weatherproof graphics built to last.Professional Installation
Our accredited team installs your hoarding to British Standards. We handle the logistics of working on active sites, ensuring minimal disruption to your workforce.
Customisation & Design Styles
Every construction site is different, and so are the budgets. We don’t just offer a “one size fits all” solution; we configure the hoarding to suit your specific site conditions and aesthetic goals.
Full Wrap with Headers & Kickers: The premium choice. We apply full-height graphics and finish the panels with top headers and bottom kickers for a seamless, framed look that completely hides the construction work.
Landscape “Budget-Friendly” Boards: Looking to reduce expenditure? We can install printed boards in a landscape orientation across the centre of your existing painted hoarding. This provides high-impact branding at a lower cost per linear metre.

Once printed, we recommend applying an Anti-Graffiti Laminate. This protective layer shields the print from UV fading and allows spray paint or marker pen to be wiped clean without damaging your graphics.

Hoarding FAQs
How can we make printed hoarding cheaper?
We make printed hoarding cheaper by using landscape panels to cover more area, offering PVC banners for short‑term sites, re‑using existing headers and kickers, and carrying out accurate site surveys that prevent reprints.
Read More: How we make printed hoarding cheaper.
Can you help with the design of hoarding graphics?
Our studio supports full hoarding design, from creating accurate, to‑scale schematic diagrams after a site survey to ensuring your artwork fits perfectly around rises, falls, obstructions, headers and kickers. We supply templates, adjust existing designs if needed, and match colours across all print processes for a consistent finish. Read more: Designing Printed Hoarding Panels
Can you use hoarding boards on Heras Fences?
Yes, but not with rigid hoarding boards.
Heras fences can’t safely support solid hoarding panels, so we use mesh or fabric Heras fence covers instead. These allow air to pass through, reduce wind load, are easy to install, and provide a cost‑effective branded alternative where no timber or metal hoarding is available.

Do you Produce Rams (Risk Assessment & Method Statement)?
Yes — we produce full RAMS for every hoarding and signage installation.
Our project manager prepares a detailed Risk Assessment and Method Statement in consultation with the fitting team, ensuring all risks are identified and the installation follows a safe, planned process.

What are Printed Hoardings used for?
Printed hoardings secure construction sites, improve safety, and double as powerful branding tools. They create a protective barrier while acting as high-impact advertising panels, showcasing promotions, site information, and marketing messages.
What materials do you offer for Printed Hoardings?
We supply a range of durable materials, including aluminium composite panels (ACP), DiBond panels, Foamex, and PVC foam boards. ACP panels are tough, weather-resistant, and ideal for long-term projects, while Foamex and PVC options provide a cost-effective choice for temporary hoardings or event branding.
Are your Printed Hoardings weatherproof?
Yes. Our printed hoardings are designed to withstand rain, wind, and UV rays. Materials like ACP and DiBond ensure long-term durability, making them perfect for outdoor use and harsh weather conditions.
Can I use Printed Hoardings for advertising?
Absolutely. Hoarding graphics offer a prime advertising space on construction sites. Whether you want to promote your brand, showcase property visuals, or display marketing campaigns, our printed panels create a bold and eye-catching advertising platform.
Do you offer custom graphics for Printed Hoardings?
Yes. We create high-resolution, fully customised hoarding graphics tailored to your brand. From corporate logos to promotional designs and safety messages, our graphics are printed on premium materials to ensure maximum visual impact.
What sizes are available for Printed Hoardings?
Our standard hoarding panels are printed on 1220 x 2440mm sheets, which is the industry standard. We print with a small margin (not edge-to-edge) to ensure the best quality and durability of the graphics. Panels can also be cut to size or shape after printing, allowing us to create seamless designs for both large developments and smaller site areas.
What finishing options are available?
We offer gloss, matte, and anti-graffiti laminations to protect and enhance your panels. Gloss finishes create a vibrant, reflective look, while matte gives a sleek, non-glare professional finish. All of which extend the lifespan of your hoarding graphics.
What is anti-graffiti lamination and why is it useful?
Anti-graffiti laminate adds a protective layer over your printed hoardings, making it easy to wipe away spray paint, marker pens, or dirt without damaging the print. It’s ideal for construction sites in busy public areas where vandalism is a risk, helping your hoarding stay fresh and professional for longer.
How do you install Printed Hoardings?
Our team handles every step of installation, from site surveys and risk assessments to securely fitting each panel. We use British Standard fixings and ensure panels align perfectly, even on uneven ground. For added security and aesthetics, we can include headers, kickers, and anti-climb features.
Do you offer site safety signage alongside hoarding?
Absolutely. We supply a full range of site safety signs, including CDM boards, Permit-to-Work (PTW) boards, directional signs, and health & safety graphics. We can design and print these to match your hoarding, creating a consistent and professional site presence.
