For councils, housing associations & their contractors
Graphics for Housing
Everything your residents see - designed properly, branded consistently, and ready to use.
The problem
Housing communications are usually the last thing anyone designs
A tenant's experience of a contract is not the mobilisation plan or the KPI dashboard. It's the card left in the door, the letter about the scaffolding, the leaflet about the engagement event, the post on the local Facebook group. Those are the touchpoints that shape satisfaction scores - and they're usually knocked together in Word, five minutes before someone needs them.
We design and build that whole layer properly. Templates your teams can use without a designer, campaign collateral that actually lands, and a consistent brand across every doorstep, noticeboard and feed. Built by people who know the sector, the terminology and the regulatory expectations behind it.
What we make
What's included
Take the whole service, or take one piece of it. Everything below can be delivered as a standalone template pack or as part of an ongoing retainer.
Digital media templates
Branded, editable post templates for LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram - vacancies, project updates, safety messages, community news. Built so anyone in the team can produce an on-brand post in minutes.
Resident communications
Leaflets, letters, works notices, FAQ sheets and welcome packs. Plain English, accessible layouts, and translated or large-print versions where you need them.
Doorstep & on-site collateral
No access calling cards, appointment reminders, site signage, van livery, operative ID and hoarding graphics - the physical assets residents actually encounter.
Engagement campaigns
End-to-end creative for resident engagement days, consultation events, scrutiny panels and community drop-ins: invites, posters, banners, feedback forms and follow-up assets.
Social value collateral
Turning TOMs and STOMs data into something people will actually read - impact one-pagers, annual review spreads, infographics and case study formats for reporting and for bids.
Mobilisation & new contractor packs
New contract starting? A complete introduction pack - resident letters, meet-the-team sheets, contact cards, uniform and vehicle branding - ready for day one on site.
Brand identity & guidelines
Full identity development or a refresh of an existing one, with usable guidelines covering logo, colour, type, tone of voice and accessible contrast standards.
Bid & framework graphics
Organograms, mobilisation Gantt charts, process diagrams and cover pages - designed to be legible inside a submission and compliant with anonymity requirements.
Full digital media management
We run the channels for you: content calendar, copywriting, design, scheduling and reporting across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and your website news feed.
Template library
Buy the templates on their own
If you don't need a design service, you can just take the artwork. Every template arrives fully branded to you, print-ready, and supplied as an editable file your team can update forever without coming back to us.
No access calling card
Left at the door after a failed visit. Tick-box outcome, time of attendance, rebooking instructions and QR code to your booking page. The single most-used asset in any repairs contract.
Appointment card
Confirms date, time slot, trade attending and what the resident needs to do beforehand. Reduces no-access rates and repeat visits.
Works notice & disruption letter
Scaffolding, water off, communal works, asbestos surveys. A clear, repeatable format that answers the questions before the calls come in.
Resident engagement day pack
Poster, door-drop invite, pull-up banner, sign-in sheet and feedback card - all built from one campaign look.
New contractor introduction leaflet
Who we are, what we're doing, how long for, and who to contact. Issued at mobilisation to set expectations from the first week.
Social value impact one-pager
Your TOMs or STOMs figures presented as something a board, a resident panel or an evaluator will read to the end.
Social media post builder
A self-contained template set covering vacancies, project updates, seasonal safety messages and community news, sized for every channel.
Site signage & hoarding
Compound boards, welfare signage, hoarding graphics and directional signs that keep the scheme looking managed rather than temporary.
Vehicle livery & operative ID
Van wrap artwork, magnetic panels and ID card templates - the version of your brand that spends all day parked on an estate.
Need something that isn't listed? It probably still falls inside this - just ask.

Why us
We already work in this sector
We're not a general design studio taking on a housing client. Teil works with contractors and property services businesses across social housing and the public sector every week, on bids, brand and digital media.
Sector-native
We know what a no-access card needs on it, why a works notice gets escalated, and how the Consumer Standards and TSMs shape resident communication.
Bid-aware
Everything we design can double as evidence. Collateral built for a live contract becomes the case study material and social value proof in your next submission.
Built to be used
Templates are handed over editable, documented and owned by you. No locked files, no coming back to us to change a phone number.
One template, on us
Pick any asset from the library and we'll design it in your brand, free, with no obligation. If you like it, we'll talk about the rest. If you don't, keep the artwork anyway.
Step one
Tell us what hurts
Email us with the asset your teams keep rebuilding from scratch. Nine times out of ten it's the no access card.
Step two
Send us your brand
Logo, colours, and any guidelines you have. If you don't have guidelines, we'll work from what's already out there.
Step three
Get your artwork
Within five working days you'll have a print-ready file and an editable master. Yours to use, either way.
Process
How we work
01 Audit
See what's out there
We gather every asset currently in circulation - cards, letters, posters, posts - and show you where the brand has drifted and where the gaps are.
02 Design
Set the look
We design the core assets first and agree the visual system behind them: type, colour, layout rules and accessibility standards.
03 Build
Make it repeatable
We turn the approved designs into editable templates and self-contained builders, so your teams can produce their own without a designer.
04 Roll out
Get it into hands
We handle print specs, supplier liaison and the handover session, then stay on to keep the system consistent as new needs appear.
