How much should I budget for projecting and hanging signs in Corby?

As a guide, £395–£1,350 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

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.

Is there a typical lead time for projecting and hanging signs in Corby?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens 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.

Do you cover smaller places near Corby as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Corby itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Northamptonshire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

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.

Projecting and hanging signs in Corby

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 Corby

With an older frontage, a Corby pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
A small Corby shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
Corner units in Corby gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

What projecting and hanging signs cost in Corby

Pricing for projecting and hanging signs is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £395 to £1,350 per sign + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.

Projecting & hanging signs in Corby: 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 Corby?

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.
