Do you need permission for a sign in Edinburgh?
In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.

Signs in Edinburgh: questions
What do you need from me to quote for business signs in Edinburgh?
Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.
Is there a guide price for fascia signs in Edinburgh?
Yes: £495–£1,650 per sign + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.
What can delay window graphics in Edinburgh?
The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.
