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 Cardiff?
- Rebranding a Cardiff business is simpler with a flat panel, because vinyl lettering can be updated without replacing the whole sign.
- Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Cardiff fascia gives them exactly that.
- On a narrow street in Cardiff, people read signs at an angle, so clear letterforms matter more than sheer size.
What fascia signs cost in Cardiff
Below is the guide pricing we use for fascia signs: from £495 up to £1,650 per sign, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| 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 |
| Remove and dispose of an old sign | £95 – £250 | £114 – £300 |
| 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 Cardiff?
Deemed or express consent? In Wales the answer depends on the 1992 Control of Advertisements Regulations, as amended, rather than the English 2007 version. A plain, unlit sign on your own business frontage is often allowed without applying, within limits on size and position, but the details differ from England's, and conservation areas call for extra care. If the building is listed, expect to need listed building consent too. We check with the council before you commit to fascia signs, and can prepare the drawings and photographs or handle the submission for you.
