What the board service covers

Agencies rarely want to buy boards. They want a board to appear when a property is listed and to disappear when it completes, without a branch manager chasing it. That is what we sell, and it is why branches stay with us for years rather than moving on price.

What the service covers

  • For sale and to let boards made up with post, slips and fittings, in your own artwork.
  • Erecting by our own crews, on scheduled routes rather than ad hoc call-outs.
  • Sold and Let slips added on request, usually on the next run through that area.
  • Removal raised as its own job, so a board is lifted after completion instead of being forgotten.
  • Stock control on your boards, so returned boards are reused rather than reprinted.
  • Window display systems and branch signage from the same workshop.

Ordering, and why branches use it

Branch staff log in, choose what they need, and the job is raised. Stock is counted, the boards are assembled, and they go out on the next van. Order before 3.30pm and we aim to deliver the next day.

The system matters more than it sounds. It means a branch can see what is outstanding without ringing anyone, and it means the removal gets scheduled by the same process that scheduled the erection. Boards overstaying outside sold properties is nearly always a process failure rather than a supplier failure, and this is the fix.

Estate agent signs, boards and branch signage

Estate agent signs cover more than the board in the garden. The same artwork runs across the for sale board, the To Let board, the branch fascia, the window display and the negotiator's car, and we make all of it. Agencies who buy estate agent signs from one supplier stop having three versions of their own logo in circulation.

If you are pricing estate agent signs against a printer, the difference is the erecting and the removal. A printed board is a product. An estate agent sign that appears the day a property lists and disappears the week it completes is a service, and that is what the twelve vans are for.

Why the vans are the business

Anyone with a printer can make a board. The hard part is twelve vans, set routes, crews who know the estates, and enough volume on each run that a single board in Ballymena is not a special trip. That is thirty seven years of route building, and it is the reason we can be quick without being expensive.

Common questions

How quickly can a board go up?
Order through the branch system before 3.30pm and it goes out on the next day's van run for your area. Most boards are up within twenty four hours of the order.
Do you remove boards as well as erect them?
Yes, and it is the part that matters most. Removal is raised as its own job and goes on the same van route, so boards do not sit outside sold properties for weeks.
How many branches do you supply?
140 estate agent branches across Northern Ireland, which makes Barrett Group the largest estate agents supplier in Northern Ireland.
Can we get our own board design?
Yes. We hold your artwork and board specification on file, so every board matches and a new branch gets the same board as the rest without a design conversation.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northern Ireland, from twelve liveried vans running set routes out of Mallusk. Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownards, Bangor, Ballymena, Coleraine, Newry and Derry are all on scheduled runs.
