Does the price of projecting and hanging signs in Pencoed include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £395–£1,350 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

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.

How far can a projecting sign stick out?

It depends on the pavement width and the rules where you are. The sign needs to stay well back from the kerb, clear of high-sided vehicles, and the highway authority may set a maximum projection. We measure the footway at survey and size the bracket to suit.

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.

Who carries out the work on projecting and hanging signs in Pencoed?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

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

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.

Projecting and hanging signs in Pencoed

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.

Why choose projecting and hanging signs for a business in Pencoed?

With an older frontage, a Pencoed pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
If your Pencoed street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
Corner units in Pencoed gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

Cut to a cup, key or scissors outline, so it reads before the words do.

Painted timber-style sign

Moulded board in timber or timber-effect aluminium for period frontages.

Do you need permission for a sign in Pencoed?

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.
