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.

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.

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 you work across Gloucestershire or only in Stroud?

Across all of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK too. Stroud 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.

How long does it take to get fascia signs in Stroud?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Does the price of fascia signs in Stroud 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.

Fascia signs in Stroud

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 Stroud?

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.
