Illuminated projecting signs in Beckenham

Every business in Beckenham wants its signage to do one job properly, whether that means being read from the road, giving a little privacy or making glass obvious to people walking towards it. Our approach to illuminated projecting signs starts there, with sizes and materials chosen for the building or vehicle in question. We work UK-wide, so enquiries from Beckenham and across Greater London follow one straightforward process.

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.

Illuminated projecting signs in Beckenham: the practical benefits

  • A lit roundel tells people a Beckenham 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 Beckenham, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
  • On a narrow Beckenham street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.

Consent for illuminated signs in Beckenham

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.

Illuminated projecting signs in Beckenham: questions

When could work on illuminated projecting signs go ahead in Beckenham?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Is Beckenham inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Beckenham and every part of Greater London 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 each side show something different?

Yes. The two faces are separate, so one side can carry your logo and the other a name or service, though many businesses keep both identical so the sign reads the same from either direction. Any difference should be shown on the consent drawings.

Will the sign swing in the wind?

It shouldn't. A lit box is fixed rigidly to its bracket rather than hung on chains, so it stays still in normal winds, with the bracket and fixings sized for its weight and exposure. Traditional hanging signs move; lit ones are fixed solid.

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 there a guide price for illuminated projecting signs in Beckenham?

Yes: £695–£2,250 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.
