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.
Projecting and hanging signs in Wilmslow: the practical benefits
- With an older frontage, a Wilmslow pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
- If your Wilmslow street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
- Corner units in Wilmslow gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.
What projecting and hanging signs cost in Wilmslow
Pricing for projecting and hanging signs is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £395 to £1,350 per sign + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Double-sided panel sign with standard bracket | £395 – £850 | £474 – £1,020 |
| Shaped or painted sign with decorative bracket | £650 – £1,350 | £780 – £1,620 |
Size and shape come first, then the bracket: a scroll bracket costs more than flat bar, and larger signs need stronger brackets and wall plates. Painted finishes, access height, the wall type and any drawings for a highway licence or advertisement consent also affect the figure.

Do you need permission for a sign in Wilmslow?
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.
