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.

How do I get a quote for projecting and hanging signs in Peebles?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

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.

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 Peebles once materials are ordered.

Can I get a fixed price for projecting and hanging signs in Peebles before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £395 to £1,350 per sign excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

Projecting and hanging signs in Peebles

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.

Points in favour of projecting and hanging signs in Peebles

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

What projecting and hanging signs cost in Peebles

We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For projecting and hanging signs the range is £395–£1,350 per sign, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.

Projecting & hanging signs in Peebles: 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 Peebles?

Different rules apply in Scotland. The 1984 Scotland Regulations decide whether a non-illuminated sign needs advertisement consent, and while some shop and office signs can go up without applying, the details are not the same as in England. Historic buildings deserve care: listed building consent is usually needed for signs on listed buildings under the 1997 Scotland Act, and carrying out works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm what applies before you commit to projecting and hanging signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
