Projecting and hanging signs in Thornaby-on-Tees

Getting projecting and hanging signs right comes down to accurate measuring, materials that suit the surface and a check of the rules before anything is ordered. That is how Smart Signs approaches every job in Thornaby-on-Tees and elsewhere in the UK: survey or photos first, then a scaled proof and a written quote, then making and fitting once you are happy.

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.

Reasons to choose projecting and hanging signs in Thornaby-on-Tees

  • Upstairs businesses in Thornaby-on-Tees, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
  • When Thornaby-on-Tees pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.
  • Visitors browsing Thornaby-on-Tees on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.

Do you need permission for a sign in Thornaby-on-Tees?

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.

Projecting and hanging signs in Thornaby-on-Tees: questions

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 you work to an opening date in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

Can a projecting sign be illuminated?

Yes, but it becomes a different product with its own consent position. Lit projecting signs use LED modules inside a box or behind halo letters, connected by an electrician, and most need express consent. A small spotlight lighting a painted sign is an alternative, still checked with the council.

Is there a guide price for projecting and hanging signs in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Yes: £395–£1,350 per sign + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

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.

Can you handle projecting and hanging signs for a business in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Thornaby-on-Tees and the rest of North Yorkshire as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.
