Can a sign go above a roller shutter box?

Yes. Shutter boxes often sit just under or across the fascia, so we measure around them at survey. The panel can sit above the box, or cover it with a removable section so the shutter can still be serviced. Tell us if the motor needs access.

What can delay fascia signs in Craigavon?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Who carries out the work on fascia signs in Craigavon?

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.

Can I get a fixed price for fascia signs in Craigavon before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £495 to £1,650 per sign excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

How long does a fascia sign take?

A flat fascia is typically made and fitted 2–3 weeks after you approve the proof, and fitting a single-storey frontage typically takes a few hours. If listed building or express advertisement consent is needed, the council decision comes first; express consent decisions usually take up to 8 weeks.

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.

Fascia signs in County Armagh

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 County Armagh?

Where footfall on a Craigavon high street is heavy, a clean, high-contrast fascia is often read before passers-by notice the window display.
Rebranding a Craigavon business is simpler with a flat panel, because vinyl lettering can be updated without replacing the whole sign.
On a narrow street in Craigavon, people read signs at an angle, so clear letterforms matter more than sheer size.

Do you need permission for a sign in County Armagh?

Northern Ireland has its own rules: the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. As elsewhere in the UK, some signs on business premises can be displayed without an application while others need consent, but the limits are specific to Northern Ireland, so we check with the council rather than rely on English figures. Applications go to the council through the NI Planning Portal. A sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent under the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
