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 Dumfries and Galloway?
- Rebranding a Dumfries business is simpler with a flat panel, because vinyl lettering can be updated without replacing the whole sign.
- Taking over an older unit in Dumfries? A new panel can usually go straight over the existing fascia board, without stripping it out.
- On a narrow street in Dumfries, people read signs at an angle, so clear letterforms matter more than sheer size.

Do you need permission for a sign in Dumfries and Galloway?
Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.
