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 Armadale: the practical benefits
- Upstairs businesses in Armadale, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
- Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for an Armadale frontage.
- Visitors browsing Armadale on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
What projecting and hanging signs cost in Armadale
The table shows guide prices for projecting and hanging signs, starting from £395 and reaching about £1,350 per sign. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.
| 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 Armadale?
Different rules apply in Scotland. The 1984 Scotland Regulations decide whether a non-illuminated sign needs advertisement consent, and while some shop and office signs can go up without applying, the details are not the same as in England. Historic buildings deserve care: listed building consent is usually needed for signs on listed buildings under the 1997 Scotland Act, and carrying out works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm what applies before you commit to projecting and hanging signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
