Illuminated projecting signs in Reigate

Your enquiry about illuminated projecting signs in Reigate goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Reigate as it is throughout Surrey.

From £695 per sign + VAT · UK guide price

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 Reigate?

  • On a narrow Reigate street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
  • Where a Reigate street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.
  • Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Reigate, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Reigate

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 Reigate: questions

When could work on illuminated projecting signs go ahead in Reigate?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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 far can a projecting sign stick out?

There's no single UK figure. It depends on pavement width, clear height, the council's shopfront guidance and the highway authority's view. Lit projecting signs are usually modest, stopping well short of the kerb, and the survey records the pavement width for the drawings.

Is Reigate inside your coverage area for illuminated projecting signs?

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

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.

What makes illuminated projecting signs more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Reigate is £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.
