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

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.

Does my landlord need to approve the sign?

Check your lease first. Many parades, retail parks and managed estates set rules on sign size, colour, materials and lighting, and some want drawings approved in writing. We can supply a scale drawing and a visual of the sign on your frontage for them.

Printed or vinyl lettering: which should I choose?

Choose cut vinyl for solid-colour text and simple logos, and a laminated print for gradients, photos or many colours. Vinyl looks crisp, and one line, such as a phone number, can be changed later; a print is replaced as a whole if anything changes.

Who carries out the work on fascia signs in Dundee?

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on fascia signs happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Dundee once materials are ordered.

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.

Fascia signs in Angus and Dundee

A fascia sign is the flat panel fixed along the board above a shop or office frontage, usually 3–4 mm aluminium composite carrying printed or cut-vinyl lettering, a logo and sometimes contact details.

Why choose fascia signs in Angus and Dundee?

For a Dundee unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
If your Dundee shop is one of a parade, a well-proportioned panel can stand out without breaking the shared fascia line.
Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Dundee fascia gives them exactly that.

Do you need permission for a sign in Angus and Dundee?

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.
