An illuminated projecting sign is a double-sided sign fixed at right angles to the building on a bracket, with LEDs inside or behind it, so people approaching along the pavement can read it.
The case for illuminated projecting signs in Widnes
- On a narrow Widnes street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
- Chains across Cheshire can use one lit roundel design, so a Widnes site is recognised from the street's end.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Widnes, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Widnes
Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.
Covering Widnes and Cheshire
From the middle of Widnes to the edges of Cheshire, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Postcode districts around Widnes include WA8 and WA7. Roughly 6.7 miles separate Widnes from Warrington, which lies to the east.
