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.

Is there a guide price for fascia signs in Horsham?

Yes: £495–£1,650 per sign + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Horsham?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

Will someone visit my premises in Horsham before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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.

Does my landlord need to approve the sign?

Check your lease first. Many parades, retail parks and managed estates set rules on sign size, colour, materials and lighting, and some want drawings approved in writing. We can supply a scale drawing and a visual of the sign on your frontage for them.

Do you need permission for a sign in Horsham?

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.
