Can you work to an opening date in Arbroath?

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.

Who is responsible if a projecting sign falls?

The building owner or occupier is usually responsible for keeping a sign over the highway safe, which is why regular checks matter. Ask your own insurer to confirm your cover includes signs over the footway. A correctly sized bracket in sound masonry, checked after storms, reduces the risk.

Do I need a licence from the highway authority?

Possibly. A sign projecting over a public pavement may need a licence from the highway authority, which is separate from advertisement consent from the planning department. We can check the requirement for your street and prepare the drawings and photos the application needs.

Can a projecting sign be illuminated?

Yes, but it becomes a different product with its own consent position. Lit projecting signs use LED modules inside a box or behind halo letters, connected by an electrician, and most need express consent. A small spotlight lighting a painted sign is an alternative, still checked with the council.

Is Arbroath inside your coverage area for projecting and hanging signs?

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

Will the location in Arbroath affect the cost of projecting and hanging signs?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £395–£1,350 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Arbroath are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Projecting and hanging signs in Arbroath

A projecting sign is a sign, usually double-sided, fixed at right angles to a building on a wall bracket, so it can be read by people approaching along the street from either direction.

Points in favour of projecting and hanging signs in Arbroath

If your Arbroath street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
Corner units in Arbroath gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.
A small Arbroath shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.

Do you need permission for a sign in Arbroath?

In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
