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.

The case for projecting and hanging signs in Newbury

  • Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Newbury frontage.
  • Visitors browsing Newbury on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
  • A small Newbury 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 Newbury?

In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.

Covering Newbury and Berkshire

Wherever you are in Berkshire, Newbury included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. In postcode terms, Newbury jobs typically fall in RG14 and RG20. Newbury lies around 16 miles west of Reading.

Projecting and hanging signs in Newbury: questions

Will the location in Newbury 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 Newbury are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Can I reuse my existing bracket?

Often, yes, if it is sound, sized for the new sign and securely fixed. We check the wall plate, fixings and arm for rust or cracking at survey. A larger or heavier sign than the old one may need a stronger bracket, and we tell you before quoting.

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

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

What can delay projecting and hanging signs in Newbury?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

What shape works for a small shop?

Simple shapes read quickest: an oval, circle or rectangle with the name and one symbol. Signs cut to an object, such as scissors or a coffee cup, work well when the trade is obvious from the shape. Keep text short, because people read it while walking past.

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.
