Projecting and hanging signs in Daventry

This is a buyer's guide to projecting and hanging signs in Daventry: what is involved, what drives the price and how the consent rules work. Smart Signs is a UK-wide signage service. We survey, design and quote; the sign or graphics are then made by specialist fabricators and fitted under our contract, so you only ever deal with a single point of contact.

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 projecting and hanging signs can do for businesses in Daventry

  • Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Daventry frontage.
  • If your Daventry street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
  • Visitors browsing Daventry on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.

What projecting and hanging signs cost in Daventry

Prices below are guides, not quotes: £395 to £1,350 per sign plus VAT, depending on size, materials and access. We confirm the exact figure after a survey or an artwork check, and it is agreed before anything is made.

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.

Options for your Daventry project

Traditional scroll bracket

Wrought-iron-style bracket with scrolls, in black or a heritage colour.

Modern blade sign

A rigid sign on a flat-bar or tube arm that doesn't swing.

Shaped symbol sign

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

Do you need permission for a sign in Daventry?

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.

Covering Daventry and Northamptonshire

Wherever you are in Northamptonshire, Daventry included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. The Daventry postcode districts we quote for include NN11. Daventry lies around 12 miles west of Northampton.

Projecting and hanging signs in Daventry: questions

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.

Is Daventry inside your coverage area for projecting and hanging signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Daventry and every part of Northamptonshire are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

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.

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.

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

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on projecting and hanging signs happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Daventry once materials are ordered.
