Illuminated projecting signs in Melksham

Getting illuminated projecting signs right comes down to accurate measuring, materials that suit the surface and a check of the rules before anything is ordered. That is how Smart Signs approaches every job in Melksham and elsewhere in the UK: survey or photos first, then a scaled proof and a written quote, then making and fitting once you are happy.

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.

What you gain from illuminated projecting signs in Melksham

  • Where a Melksham street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.
  • A lit roundel tells people a Melksham pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
  • On a narrow Melksham street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.

Consent for illuminated signs in Melksham

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 Melksham and Wiltshire

Wherever you are in Wiltshire, Melksham included, the service is identical.

Illuminated projecting signs in Melksham: 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.

Do you cover smaller places near Melksham as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Melksham itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Wiltshire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

Does the price of illuminated projecting signs in Melksham include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £695–£2,250 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

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.

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.

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

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.
