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.
Points in favour of projecting and hanging signs in Nelson
- Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Nelson frontage.
- Upstairs businesses in Nelson, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
- A small Nelson shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
What projecting and hanging signs cost in Nelson
How much? Expect a guide range of £395–£1,350 per sign, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| 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 Nelson?
Deemed or express consent? In Wales the answer depends on the 1992 Control of Advertisements Regulations, as amended, rather than the English 2007 version. A plain, unlit sign on your own business frontage is often allowed without applying, within limits on size and position, but the details differ from England's, and conservation areas call for extra care. If the building is listed, expect to need listed building consent too. We check with the council before you commit to projecting and hanging signs, and can prepare the drawings and photographs or handle the submission for you.
