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.

Points in favour of projecting and hanging signs in Haddington

  • With an older frontage, a Haddington pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
  • Visitors browsing Haddington on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
  • Upstairs businesses in Haddington, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.

Do you need permission for a sign in Haddington?

Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.

Projecting and hanging signs in Haddington: questions

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.

How long does it take to get projecting and hanging signs in Haddington?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Do you work across Edinburgh and the Lothians or only in Haddington?

Across all of Edinburgh and the Lothians, and the rest of the UK too. Haddington is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

How far can a projecting sign stick out?

It depends on the pavement width and the rules where you are. The sign needs to stay well back from the kerb, clear of high-sided vehicles, and the highway authority may set a maximum projection. We measure the footway at survey and size the bracket to suit.

Does the price of projecting and hanging signs in Haddington include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £395–£1,350 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Who is responsible if a projecting sign falls?

The building owner or occupier is usually responsible for keeping a sign over the highway safe, which is why regular checks matter. Ask your own insurer to confirm your cover includes signs over the footway. A correctly sized bracket in sound masonry, checked after storms, reduces the risk.
