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.
Good reasons to look at fascia signs in Cambridge
- If your Cambridge 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 Cambridge fascia gives them exactly that.
- Where footfall on a Cambridge high street is heavy, a clean, high-contrast fascia is often read before passers-by notice the window display.

Do you need permission for a sign in Cambridge?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
Covering Cambridge and Cambridgeshire
Yes, Cambridge is covered, as is the rest of Cambridgeshire. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Postcode districts around Cambridge include CB2, CB1, CB3 and CB4. From Peterborough, Cambridge is roughly 30 miles to the south-east.
