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.
What fascia signs can do for businesses in Christchurch
- Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Christchurch fascia gives them exactly that.
- Taking over an older unit in Christchurch? A new panel can usually go straight over the existing fascia board, without stripping it out.
- For a Christchurch unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.

Do you need permission for a sign in Christchurch?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
Covering Christchurch and Dorset
Wherever you are in Dorset, Christchurch included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. Around Christchurch, that covers postcode districts such as BH6, BH23, BH7 and BH5. Roughly 4.4 miles separate Christchurch from Bournemouth, which lies to the west.
