What is the typical timescale for projecting and hanging signs from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Radcliffe.

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.

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.

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.

Will the location in Radcliffe affect the cost of projecting and hanging signs?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £395–£1,350 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Radcliffe are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Do you work across Greater Manchester or only in Radcliffe?

Across all of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK too. Radcliffe 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.

Projecting and hanging signs in Radcliffe

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.

Good reasons to look at projecting and hanging signs in Radcliffe

With an older frontage, a Radcliffe pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
Visitors browsing Radcliffe on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
When Radcliffe pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.

Do you need permission for a sign in Radcliffe?

In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
