Illuminated projecting signs in Norfolk

Businesses in Norfolk can order illuminated projecting signs from Smart Signs as part of our UK-wide service. You send photos and sizes or we arrange a survey; we draw a proof to scale and agree a written price; then the work is booked in. Nothing is made before you approve it, and the process does not change anywhere in England.

From £695 per sign + VAT · UK guide price
Round navy lit projecting sign 'THE LANTERN' on a bracket over a cobbled street at night

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.

Why choose illuminated projecting signs in Norfolk?

  • Corner premises in Norwich can put a projecting sign on the side wall to catch people coming from the cross street.
  • Chains across Norfolk can use one lit roundel design, so a Norwich site is recognised from the street's end.
  • Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Norwich, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Norfolk

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.

Other signs in Norfolk

Illuminated projecting signs in Norfolk: questions

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.

Are lit signs allowed on listed buildings?

Sometimes, but expect extra scrutiny. You'll usually need listed building consent as well as advertisement consent, and councils may favour halo-lit or externally lit designs and traditional brackets on historic frontages. Cable routes and fixings are planned to avoid damaging historic fabric.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Is Norwich inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

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