Projecting and hanging signs in Morden

Your enquiry about projecting and hanging signs in Morden 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 Morden as it is throughout Greater London.

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.

Practical reasons to consider projecting and hanging signs in Morden

  • Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Morden frontage.
  • A small Morden shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
  • Corner units in Morden gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

What projecting and hanging signs cost in Morden

Guide prices start from £395 and go up to £1,350 per sign, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.

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.

Options for your Morden project

Traditional scroll bracket

Wrought-iron-style bracket with scrolls, in black or a heritage colour.

Painted timber-style sign

Moulded board in timber or timber-effect aluminium for period frontages.

Double-sided panel sign

Print or vinyl on both faces of a composite or tray sign, on a standard bracket.

Do you need permission for a sign in Morden?

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 Morden: questions

Can I reuse my existing bracket?

Often, yes, if it is sound, sized for the new sign and securely fixed. We check the wall plate, fixings and arm for rust or cracking at survey. A larger or heavier sign than the old one may need a stronger bracket, and we tell you before quoting.

Do I need a licence from the highway authority?

Possibly. A sign projecting over a public pavement may need a licence from the highway authority, which is separate from advertisement consent from the planning department. We can check the requirement for your street and prepare the drawings and photos the application needs.

What makes projecting and hanging signs more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Morden is £395–£1,350 per sign + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Is Morden inside your coverage area for projecting and hanging signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Morden and every part of Greater London are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Morden?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

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.
