Illuminated projecting signs in Limavady

Whether your business in Limavady is opening, rebranding or replacing something tired, illuminated projecting signs can be planned properly from the start. We look at the building or vehicle, the viewing distance and the consent position, then put a scaled drawing and a written price in front of you. Smart Signs covers Limavady, the rest of County Londonderry and the wider UK.

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.

Good reasons to look at illuminated projecting signs in Limavady

  • Chains across County Londonderry can use one lit roundel design, so a Limavady site is recognised from the street's end.
  • A lit roundel tells people a Limavady pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
  • Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Limavady, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Limavady

Under the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, an illuminated fascia or projecting sign usually needs express consent from the council. Applications go in online via the NI Planning Portal, and the council will tell you its timescale and may set conditions on hours or light levels. PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual brightness benchmark, and flashing is generally out. Listed premises usually need listed building consent alongside. Once installed, the sign is connected to the mains by an electrician to BS 7671, with a certificate for you. We can prepare the drawings or submit the application.

Illuminated projecting signs in Limavady: questions

Are lit signs allowed on listed buildings?

Sometimes, but expect extra scrutiny. You'll usually need listed building consent as well as advertisement consent, and councils may favour halo-lit or externally lit designs and traditional brackets on historic frontages. Cable routes and fixings are planned to avoid damaging historic fabric.

Can I get a fixed price for illuminated projecting signs in Limavady before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £695 to £2,250 per sign excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

How long does it all take?

Making and fitting typically takes 3–5 weeks after you approve the proof. Allow for advertisement consent first, usually up to 8 weeks for a decision, plus any highway licence, which runs on the authority's own timetable. Applications can be prepared in parallel.

Is Limavady inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Limavady and every part of County Londonderry are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Can you work to an opening date in Limavady?

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.

Does the sign need its own supply?

It needs a supply, though not necessarily a new circuit. An electrician usually takes a switched, fused feed from inside the building close to the bracket, often sharing a time switch with your fascia lighting, and certifies the connection to BS 7671.
