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.
What you gain from projecting and hanging signs in Dumbarton
- If your Dumbarton street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
- Upstairs businesses in Dumbarton, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
- With an older frontage, a Dumbarton pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
What projecting and hanging signs cost in Dumbarton
Below is the guide pricing we use for projecting and hanging signs: from £395 up to £1,350 per sign, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| 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 Dumbarton?
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.
