Can you handle illuminated projecting signs for a business in Trowbridge?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Trowbridge and the rest of Wiltshire as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

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.

How much should I budget for illuminated projecting signs in Trowbridge?

As a guide, £695–£2,250 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Is there a typical lead time for illuminated projecting signs in Trowbridge?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

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.

Illuminated projecting signs in Trowbridge

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 Trowbridge

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.
