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.
Why choose projecting and hanging signs for a business in Exeter?
- Corner units in Exeter gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.
- Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for an Exeter frontage.
- With an older frontage, an Exeter pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.

Do you need permission for a sign in Exeter?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
