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 Buxton
- A small Buxton shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
- Upstairs businesses in Buxton, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
- When Buxton pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.
What projecting and hanging signs cost in Buxton
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For projecting and hanging signs the range is £395–£1,350 per sign, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| 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 Buxton?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
