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.

Reasons to choose projecting and hanging signs in Ashton-under-Lyne

  • A small Ashton-under-Lyne shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
  • When Ashton-under-Lyne pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.
  • Corner units in Ashton-under-Lyne gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

Do you need permission for a sign in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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 Ashton-under-Lyne: questions

Will someone visit my premises in Ashton-under-Lyne before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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.

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.

Can I get a fixed price for projecting and hanging signs in Ashton-under-Lyne before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £395 to £1,350 per sign excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

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.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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.
