Projecting and hanging signs in Tewkesbury

Your enquiry about projecting and hanging signs in Tewkesbury goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Tewkesbury as it is throughout Gloucestershire.

From £395 per sign + VAT · UK guide price

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 Tewkesbury: the practical benefits

  • When Tewkesbury pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.
  • Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Tewkesbury frontage.
  • Upstairs businesses in Tewkesbury, 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 Tewkesbury?

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.

Projecting and hanging signs in Tewkesbury: questions

Can you work to an opening date in Tewkesbury?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

Does the price of projecting and hanging signs in Tewkesbury 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.

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.

Will a hanging sign swing or squeak?

A sign hung from hooks or chains will move in the wind, which is part of the traditional look. Nylon or brass bushes on the hooks reduce squeaking and wear. On an exposed corner, a fixed blade sign mounted rigidly to the bracket won't swing at all.

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.

Do you cover smaller places near Tewkesbury as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Tewkesbury itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Gloucestershire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.
