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 Darwen
- With an older frontage, a Darwen pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
- Visitors browsing Darwen on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
- A small Darwen 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 Darwen
Below is the guide pricing we use for projecting and hanging signs: from £395 up to £1,350 per sign, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| 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 Darwen?
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.
