What do you need from me to quote for fascia signs in Aberdeen?

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.

How long does it take to get fascia signs in Aberdeen?

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.

Do I need to be there when the sign is fitted?

Not usually, as long as the frontage is accessible and power to any old sign lighting can be isolated. We agree the date with you, cone off and manage the pavement area while working, fit around your opening hours where access allows, and send photos once it is up.

What is the price of fascia signs for a business in Aberdeen?

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.

Can you design the sign if I only have a logo?

Yes. Send whatever you have, even a photo of an old sign or a business card, and we lay out the name, logo and contact details on a scale drawing of your frontage. Vector files give the sharpest result; a low-resolution logo can be redrawn.

Will a fascia sign cope with bad weather?

It should, if it is fixed properly. Aluminium composite does not rot or swell, and stainless fixings avoid the rust streaks that ordinary screws can leave. On older frontages the weak point is usually the board behind, so we check the top edge for water getting in and seal it.

Do you need permission for a sign in Aberdeen?

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.
