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.

Does the price of fascia signs in Bournemouth include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £495–£1,650 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

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.

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.

Will someone visit my premises in Bournemouth 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.

What is the typical timescale for fascia signs from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Bournemouth.

Fascia signs in Bournemouth

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.

Do you need permission for a sign in Bournemouth?

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.
