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.

The case for illuminated projecting signs in Felling

  • Upper-floor clinics, dentists and studios in Felling can mark an easily missed street door with a lit projecting sign.
  • For a pharmacy or late-opening shop in Felling, a lit projecting sign helps people searching the street after dark.

Consent for illuminated signs in Felling

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 Felling: questions

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Felling is £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

What do you need from me to quote for illuminated projecting signs in Felling?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

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.
