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 Horley

Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.

Illuminated projecting signs in Horley: questions

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.

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

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.

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.

Do you work across Surrey or only in Horley?

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

Is there a guide price for illuminated projecting signs in Horley?

Yes: £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.
