Do you work across Lanarkshire or only in Hamilton?

Across all of Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK too. Hamilton is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

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.

Can you work to an opening date in Hamilton?

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.

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.

How much should I budget for illuminated projecting signs in Hamilton?

As a guide, £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Illuminated projecting signs in Hamilton

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.

What illuminated projecting signs cost in Hamilton

Consent for illuminated signs in Hamilton

Illumination brings Scottish signs firmly into the consent process. Under the 1984 Scotland Regulations, internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs usually need express consent; the council decides, and listed buildings or conservation areas add an extra layer, with listed building consent usually required on a listed building. Keep the light static and the luminance within the PLG05 guidance the council is likely to reference. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, while the final connection is made to BS 7671 by an electrician. We confirm the route before you commit and can handle the drawings or the eDevelopment.scot submission.
