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.

Consent for illuminated signs in Portishead

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 Portishead: questions

What is the typical timescale for illuminated projecting signs from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Portishead.

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 handle illuminated projecting signs for a business in Portishead?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Portishead and the rest of Somerset as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

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.

Why is there a price range for illuminated projecting signs rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £695 to £2,250 per sign + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Portishead.

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.
