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 do you need from me to quote for projecting and hanging signs in Faversham?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

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.

Can I get a fixed price for projecting and hanging signs in Faversham 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.

How long does it take to get projecting and hanging signs in Faversham?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

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.

Projecting and hanging signs in Faversham

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.

What you gain from projecting and hanging signs in Faversham

What projecting and hanging signs cost in Faversham

We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For projecting and hanging signs the range is £395–£1,350 per sign, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.

Projecting & hanging signs in Faversham: guide prices, supplied and fitted
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 Faversham?

Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
