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.

Practical reasons to consider illuminated projecting signs in Felixstowe

  • Chains across Suffolk can use one lit roundel design, so a Felixstowe site is recognised from the street's end.
  • A lit roundel tells people a Felixstowe pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
  • Corner premises in Felixstowe can put a projecting sign on the side wall to catch people coming from the cross street.

Consent for illuminated signs in Felixstowe

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 Felixstowe: questions

Is Felixstowe inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

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

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.

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.

What can delay illuminated projecting signs in Felixstowe?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

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.

Will the location in Felixstowe affect the cost of illuminated projecting signs?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Felixstowe are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.
