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.
Points in favour of illuminated projecting signs in Brentwood
- Where a Brentwood street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.
- Chains across Essex can use one lit roundel design, so a Brentwood site is recognised from the street's end.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Brentwood, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Brentwood
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
Covering Brentwood and Essex
Our coverage takes in Brentwood, the rest of Essex and the rest of the UK. Fitted signs usually start with a site visit so the wall can be measured, the fixings checked and access planned. Window and vehicle graphics can often be priced from your own pictures instead. The Brentwood postcode districts we quote for include CM14, CM13 and CM15. Roughly 18 miles separate Brentwood from Southend-on-Sea, which lies to the east.
