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.

Reasons to choose illuminated projecting signs in Camberley

  • Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Camberley, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
  • On a narrow Camberley street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
  • For a pharmacy or late-opening shop in Camberley, a lit projecting sign helps people searching the street after dark.

Consent for illuminated signs in Camberley

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.

Covering Camberley and Surrey

Wherever you are in Surrey, Camberley included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. Addresses in GU15, GU17, GU16 and GU47 are all within our Camberley coverage. Camberley lies around 8 miles west of Woking.

Illuminated projecting signs in Camberley: questions

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.

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.

How long does it take to get illuminated projecting signs in Camberley?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Do you work across Surrey or only in Camberley?

Across all of Surrey, and the rest of the UK too. Camberley 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.

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 location in Camberley 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 Camberley are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.
