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.
What fascia signs can do for businesses in Dover
- Rebranding a Dover business is simpler with a flat panel, because vinyl lettering can be updated without replacing the whole sign.
- If your Dover shop is one of a parade, a well-proportioned panel can stand out without breaking the shared fascia line.
- Takeaways and cafés in Dover trading into the evening can pair a flat fascia with LED trough lighting instead of a lightbox.
What fascia signs cost in Dover
How much? Expect a guide range of £495–£1,650 per sign, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium composite fascia, up to 3 m | £495 – £950 | £594 – £1,140 |
| Aluminium composite fascia, 3–5 m | £750 – £1,650 | £900 – £1,980 |

| Scaffold tower or access platform, per day (if needed) | £150 – £450 | £180 – £540 |
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 Dover?
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.
