Illuminated projecting signs in Skegness

Getting illuminated projecting signs right comes down to accurate measuring, materials that suit the surface and a check of the rules before anything is ordered. That is how Smart Signs approaches every job in Skegness and elsewhere in the UK: survey or photos first, then a scaled proof and a written quote, then making and fitting once you are happy.

From £695 per sign + VAT · UK guide price

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.

Reasons to choose illuminated projecting signs in Skegness

  • Chains across Lincolnshire can use one lit roundel design, so a Skegness site is recognised from the street's end.
  • On a narrow Skegness street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
  • A lit roundel tells people a Skegness pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.

Consent for illuminated signs in Skegness

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 Skegness: questions

Is there a typical lead time for illuminated projecting signs in Skegness?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Do you cover smaller places near Skegness as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Skegness itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Lincolnshire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

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 there a guide price for illuminated projecting signs in Skegness?

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.

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.

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.
