Smart Signs designs, makes and fits business signage and graphics across the UK, and that includes fascia signs for shops, offices and trade businesses in Tonbridge.

From £495 per sign + VAT · UK guide price

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 for a business in Tonbridge?

  • Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Tonbridge fascia gives them exactly that.
  • Taking over an older unit in Tonbridge? A new panel can usually go straight over the existing fascia board, without stripping it out.
  • For a Tonbridge unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.

Do you need permission for a sign in Tonbridge?

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.

Fascia signs in Tonbridge: questions

Do you work across Kent or only in Tonbridge?

Across all of Kent, and the rest of the UK too. Tonbridge 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.

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.

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

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.

Can you design the sign if I only have a logo?

Yes. Send whatever you have, even a photo of an old sign or a business card, and we lay out the name, logo and contact details on a scale drawing of your frontage. Vector files give the sharpest result; a low-resolution logo can be redrawn.

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.

What makes fascia signs more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Tonbridge is £495–£1,650 per sign + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.
