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 for a business in Edinburgh?
- Where footfall on an Edinburgh high street is heavy, a clean, high-contrast fascia is often read before passers-by notice the window display.
- Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Edinburgh fascia gives them exactly that.
- For an Edinburgh unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
What fascia signs cost in Edinburgh
Pricing for fascia signs is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £495 to £1,650 per sign + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.

|---|---|---|

Removing and disposing of an old sign is guided at £95 to £250, and a scaffold tower or access platform, if needed, at £150 to £450 per day, both excluding VAT. Repairs to the board are priced only if the survey shows they are needed, and every figure is confirmed after survey and an artwork check.

Do you need permission for a sign in Edinburgh?
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.
