Custom Made Chalkboards

From a one-off, made-to-measure blackboard to suit your needs; to a large run, specially designed and printed product for a specific purpose, Chalkboards UK is able to help.

'Made-to-Measure' Chalkboards
If you can't see the size you want in our range of blackboards (framed, unframed or free-standing), let us know what size you need and we'll make it to order for you. For Framed Chalkboards, you can also choose
the thickness of the frame and the colour of the stain.

DON'T FORGET - we can print your 'made-to-measure' board as well - CLICK HERE to find out more about our print options.

E-mail us on sales@chalkboardsuk.co.uk with the measurements of the board you require, if you need print or not and how many boards; then we'll get back to you with a quote.

Shaped Blackboards
The Chalkboards UK website offers a wide range of Shaped Chalkboards, covering a host of applications and trades. If you can't see the shape you want, e-mail us with your suggestions - you never know, it might become a stock item! If it does, we'll give you a voucher code to save money on the website.

Bespoke Chalkboard Design Service
At Chalkboards UK, we manufacture all of our wooden chalkboard products at our facility in Stourbridge. There's a fully equipped Wood Shop, including CNC Routers, panel and radial arm saws, mitre saws, tenoners, under-pinners, pillar drills and sanders. We also have our own Print Department where we offer screen printing, foil blocking, heat transfer, stencilling and branding. In all we employ over 50 people.

Our excellent facilities allow us to work with clients to develop unique products that are 'fit for purpose'. Finished pre-production samples can be made in a fraction of the time it takes for similar samples to arrive from the Far East; and once approved, can go straight into production.

Over the years we have developed many interesting products with our customers that range from point-of-sale to bar fittings and table top presentation. Our customers are some of the largest in their fields and our well-made designs can be seen up and down the country.

Here's just a few examples of the work we've carried out:
