Does my landlord need to approve the sign?

Check your lease first. Many parades, retail parks and managed estates set rules on sign size, colour, materials and lighting, and some want drawings approved in writing. We can supply a scale drawing and a visual of the sign on your frontage for them.

Is there a typical lead time for fascia signs in Gloucester?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

How long does a fascia sign take?

A flat fascia is typically made and fitted 2–3 weeks after you approve the proof, and fitting a single-storey frontage typically takes a few hours. If listed building or express advertisement consent is needed, the council decision comes first; express consent decisions usually take up to 8 weeks.

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.

Why is there a price range for fascia signs rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £495 to £1,650 per sign + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Gloucester.

Do you work across Gloucestershire or only in Gloucester?

Across all of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK too. Gloucester is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Fascia signs in Gloucestershire

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 Gloucestershire?

If your Gloucester shop is one of a parade, a well-proportioned panel can stand out without breaking the shared fascia line.
Taking over an older unit in Gloucester? A new panel can usually go straight over the existing fascia board, without stripping it out.
Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Gloucester fascia gives them exactly that.

Use these figures to budget: £495 to £1,650 per sign is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.

Do you need permission for a sign in Gloucestershire?

Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
