Do you need permission for a sign in Cardiff?
Wales still uses the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. The system looks similar to England's, with some signs allowed under deemed consent and others needing express consent from the council, but the details differ, so we check with the local planning authority rather than assume English limits apply. On a listed building, listed building consent is usually needed as well, and works without it can be a criminal offence. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.

Signs in Cardiff: questions
Who carries out the work on business signs in Cardiff?
The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.
What is the price of fascia signs for a business in Cardiff?
Guide pricing runs from £495 to £1,650 per sign, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.
How long does it take to get built-up letters in Cardiff?
It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.
