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.

Will someone visit my premises in Billericay 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 I need to be there when the sign is fitted?

Not usually, as long as the frontage is accessible and power to any old sign lighting can be isolated. We agree the date with you, cone off and manage the pavement area while working, fit around your opening hours where access allows, and send photos once it is up.

Does the price of fascia signs in Billericay 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.

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 Billericay once materials are ordered.

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.

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 Billericay?

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.
