Do you need permission for a sign in Manchester?

In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.

Signs in Manchester: questions

Can you handle business signs for a business in Manchester?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Manchester and the rest of Greater Manchester as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

Will the location in Manchester affect the cost of fascia signs?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £495–£1,650 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Manchester are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Can you work to an opening date in Manchester?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.
