Illuminated projecting signs in Bury

Whether your business in Bury 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 Bury, the rest of Greater Manchester 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.

Where illuminated projecting signs can pay off in Bury

  • Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Bury, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
  • Corner premises in Bury can put a projecting sign on the side wall to catch people coming from the cross street.
  • Where a Bury street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Bury

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.

Illuminated projecting signs in Bury: questions

Can you reuse our existing bracket?

Sometimes. If the bracket is sound, well placed and strong enough, reusing it saves cost and avoids fresh holes. Rust at the wall plate, cracked masonry, missing fixings or no route for a cable usually mean a new bracket is safer.

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.

Is Bury inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Bury 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.

What is the price of illuminated projecting signs for a business in Bury?

Guide pricing runs from £695 to £2,250 per sign, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on illuminated projecting signs happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Bury once materials are ordered.
