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.

Where illuminated projecting signs can pay off in Atherton

  • A lit roundel tells people an Atherton pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
  • On a narrow Atherton street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
  • For a pharmacy or late-opening shop in Atherton, a lit projecting sign helps people searching the street after dark.

Consent for illuminated signs in Atherton

Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.

Covering Atherton and Greater Manchester

Yes, Atherton is covered, as is the rest of Greater Manchester. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Addresses in M46, M29, BL5 and WN7 are all within our Atherton coverage. Atherton is about 11 miles west of Manchester.

Illuminated projecting signs in Atherton: questions

Will the location in Atherton affect the cost of illuminated projecting signs?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Atherton are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Is Atherton inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Atherton and every part of Greater Manchester 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.

How far can a projecting sign stick out?

There's no single UK figure. It depends on pavement width, clear height, the council's shopfront guidance and the highway authority's view. Lit projecting signs are usually modest, stopping well short of the kerb, and the survey records the pavement width for the drawings.

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

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.

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.

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.
