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.
Points in favour of fascia signs in Durham
- Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Durham fascia gives them exactly that.
- If your Durham shop is one of a parade, a well-proportioned panel can stand out without breaking the shared fascia line.
- Taking over an older unit in Durham? A new panel can usually go straight over the existing fascia board, without stripping it out.

Do you need permission for a sign in Durham?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
