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.

The case for fascia signs in Horley

  • For a Horley unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
  • If your Horley shop is one of a parade, a well-proportioned panel can stand out without breaking the shared fascia line.
  • Takeaways and cafés in Horley trading into the evening can pair a flat fascia with LED trough lighting instead of a lightbox.

Do you need permission for a sign in Horley?

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.

Fascia signs in Horley: questions

Printed or vinyl lettering: which should I choose?

Choose cut vinyl for solid-colour text and simple logos, and a laminated print for gradients, photos or many colours. Vinyl looks crisp, and one line, such as a phone number, can be changed later; a print is replaced as a whole if anything changes.

Do I need to be there when the sign is fitted?

Not usually, as long as the frontage is accessible and power to any old sign lighting can be isolated. We agree the date with you, cone off and manage the pavement area while working, fit around your opening hours where access allows, and send photos once it is up.

Can you work to an opening date in Horley?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

Can you handle fascia signs for a business in Horley?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Horley and the rest of Surrey as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

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.

How much should I budget for fascia signs in Horley?

As a guide, £495–£1,650 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.
