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.

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.

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 Derry/Londonderry 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.

Why is there a price range for fascia signs rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £495 to £1,650 per sign + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Derry/Londonderry.

Will someone visit my premises in Derry/Londonderry before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

Do you need permission for a sign in County Londonderry?

Signs in Northern Ireland are covered by the 2015 Control of Advertisements Regulations (NI), not the English or Scottish versions. Whether an unlit sign needs an application depends on its size, where it sits on the building and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Where consent is needed, the council handles it, with applications made online via the NI Planning Portal. For listed buildings, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check what applies to your premises before anything is ordered, and we can prepare or submit the application for you.
