Refurbished Eco-friendly "Old to New" Fire Door & Office Signage

Updated: Sep 4

If you are a fire door installer, office fit-out specialist, or facilities maintenance company involved in replacing large volumes of stainless steel door signage, and serious about reducing your carbon footprint, Poole Waite & Co Ltd can now offer you a smarter, greener option.

Why refurbish your door signage instead of replacing?


The supply of new stainless steel door signage has proven to create a negative impact on the environment. Most new signs are:

  • Manufactured overseas (often in Asia)

  • Transported thousands of miles using land, sea, and/or air freight

  • Packaged in non-biodegradable plastics harmful to the environment

  • Printed with non-durable finishes that wear quickly with cleaning and handling


Not only does this create avoidable waste, but it also leads to recurring replacement costs and increases your project’s environmental impact.

How do we refurbish your old door signage?


  • We collect or you deliver your used signage to our London premises

  • Discs are mechanically cleaned and degreased.

  • They are then satin finished as standard (other finishes available include matt black, matt white, polished stainless steel and adonic bronze.)

  • Discs are printed to our standard format. The process we use provides a highly durable finish proven to be up to 3x more hard-wearing than standard signage

  • Each sign is supplied complete with new screws.

  • Signs are individually packaged using starch-based biodegradable bags and 100% recycled cardboard

  • The refurbishment process is fully undertaken within a 20-mile radius of our Central London premises, limiting overseas transportation


This not only extends the life of your existing components but supports your organisation’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals - a growing priority in commercial construction and fit-out projects.


Whether you’re refurbishing a commercial space or outfitting a new-build development*, our eco-friendly architectural ironmongery services help you deliver sustainable outcomes. We believe that even small decisions, like how we handle signage, can have a lasting impact.


*If you are unable to supply old signs, we can supply fully refurbished 'new' signs from our stocks.



Our Ironmongery Refurbishment Scheme is available now. To find out more or explore our wider range of eco-friendly ironmongery, get in touch with our sales team today.
