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.
Reasons to choose fascia signs in Guildford
- For a Guildford unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
- On a narrow street in Guildford, people read signs at an angle, so clear letterforms matter more than sheer size.
- Takeaways and cafés in Guildford trading into the evening can pair a flat fascia with LED trough lighting instead of a lightbox.
What fascia signs cost in Guildford
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.
| 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 Guildford?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
