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.
Fascia signs in Chatham: the practical benefits
- Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Chatham fascia gives them exactly that.
- Takeaways and cafés in Chatham trading into the evening can pair a flat fascia with LED trough lighting instead of a lightbox.
- Where footfall on a Chatham high street is heavy, a clean, high-contrast fascia is often read before passers-by notice the window display.

Do you need permission for a sign in Chatham?
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.
