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 in Staffordshire?
- On a narrow street in Stoke-on-Trent, people read signs at an angle, so clear letterforms matter more than sheer size.
- For a Stoke-on-Trent unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
- If your Stoke-on-Trent shop is one of a parade, a well-proportioned panel can stand out without breaking the shared fascia line.
Guide prices in Staffordshire
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £495 to £1,650 per sign, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.

Do you need permission for a sign in Staffordshire?
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.
