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.

Consent for illuminated signs in Abercarn

Illuminated fascia and projecting signs in Wales usually need express consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. Because the Welsh rules differ in detail from England's, we check with the planning authority what applies to your building, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building, where listed building consent may also be needed. Councils commonly look at brightness against the ILP's PLG05 guidance and expect static lighting. The final connection to the mains is made by an electrician to BS 7671, and you receive the certificate. We prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.

Illuminated projecting signs in Abercarn: questions

Will someone visit my premises in Abercarn before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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.

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.

Does the price of illuminated projecting signs in Abercarn include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £695–£2,250 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Can you work to an opening date in Abercarn?

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.
