Question 1

How long for delivery?

Accepted Answer

Because this is a bespoke service and needs research. Please allow 35 days for delivery.

Question 2

How large is the plaque?

Accepted Answer

Plaques measure 26cms across and fit in most windows. Always measure your window to check its dimensions . We can reduce the size to 22cms min. No smaller, as this leaves very little room for the information.

Question 3

The house is in Scotland, Ireland or Northern Ireland, can I have a plaque ? Yes , but due to the nature of these incomplete records , please use the contact form before purchasing a plaque.

Accepted Answer

The England & Wales census records are searchable by address.  Unfortunately Scotland records are incomplete, so your house may not be searchable.

Question 4

Are they always round?

Accepted Answer

Yes so they look like the traditional blue plaques.

Question 5

How are they fixed?

Accepted Answer

Simply clean the inside of your window and allow to dry thoroughly peel away the backing paper and apply the plaque to the window, wording facing the outside . In order to get the plaque level just press the top part to the window and check its straight before pressing down the rest. Use a soft cloth to do this. 
 
You can reposition a few times if you get it wrong. But be careful removing it as they are quite delicate.

Can I have multiple dates on my plaque?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can have two dates on your plaque for example 1901 and 1939 at no extra cost.

Question 7
