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 for a business in Nailsea?

  • Where a Nailsea street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.
  • A lit roundel tells people a Nailsea pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
  • Chains across Somerset can use one lit roundel design, so a Nailsea site is recognised from the street's end.

Consent for illuminated signs in Nailsea

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 Nailsea: questions

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

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.

Do you work across Somerset or only in Nailsea?

Across all of Somerset, and the rest of the UK too. Nailsea 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
