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 can do for businesses in Keynsham

  • Chains across Somerset can use one lit roundel design, so a Keynsham site is recognised from the street's end.
  • Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Keynsham, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
  • Where a Keynsham street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Keynsham

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 Keynsham: questions

Can you work to an opening date in Keynsham?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Will the sign swing in the wind?

It shouldn't. A lit box is fixed rigidly to its bracket rather than hung on chains, so it stays still in normal winds, with the bracket and fixings sized for its weight and exposure. Traditional hanging signs move; lit ones are fixed solid.

Will someone visit my premises in Keynsham 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.
