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.

Practical reasons to consider illuminated projecting signs in Wakefield

  • Chains across West Yorkshire can use one lit roundel design, so a Wakefield site is recognised from the street's end.
  • Upper-floor clinics, dentists and studios in Wakefield can mark an easily missed street door with a lit projecting sign.
  • A lit roundel tells people a Wakefield pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.

Consent for illuminated signs in Wakefield

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 Wakefield: 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.

Can you work to an opening date in Wakefield?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

How do I get a quote for illuminated projecting signs in Wakefield?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

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.

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.

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

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.
