Reasons customers contact Phil

What people usually want to talk through

  1. A plaque for a person, place, event or milestone

    Many plaques mark a loved one. Others mark a garden, a bench, a building, an anniversary or a moment a family or group wants to keep.

  2. Names, dates and wording presented clearly

    Readability matters more than decoration. Spacing, line breaks and letter size are considered so the wording sits comfortably on the plaque.

  3. Something custom rather than a catalogue design

    There is no fixed product list. The plaque is laid out for the wording you supply and the purpose you describe.

  4. Engraving an item you already have

    Existing plaques and customer-supplied items can be assessed individually, based on material, finish, condition and available engraving area.

  5. Unsure which material or size suits

    If you are not certain what would be appropriate, describe the intended use and approximate size and Phil will talk it through with you.

  6. A plaque for a club, organisation or community group

    Commemorative plaques for clubs, community groups and organisations are handled the same way, with attention to names, dates and logos.

Memorial and commemorative work

The plaques and items Phil engraves

  • Metal memorial plaques

    Metal is the primary material for Phil's memorial plaque work, and the starting point for most enquiries.

  • Memorial-related items

    Smaller keepsakes and memorial-related pieces are engraved alongside plaques where the item is suitable.

  • Commemorative plaques

    Plaques marking openings, dedications, anniversaries, service and achievements for families, clubs and organisations.

  • Customer-supplied items

    Items you already own are assessed individually before any engraving is agreed.

  • Occasional wood and stone engraving

    Wood and stone may be considered for suitable projects, discussed case by case rather than offered as a standard product.

How Phil approaches the project

Unhurried, and checked before anything is cut

Please confirm the spelling of names, the dates and the full wording carefully before engraving begins. Engraving cannot simply be undone once it is done.
