Projecting and hanging signs in Oswestry

Your enquiry about projecting and hanging signs in Oswestry goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Oswestry as it is throughout Shropshire.

From £395 per sign + VAT · UK guide price

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 Oswestry?

  • Upstairs businesses in Oswestry, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
  • A small Oswestry shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
  • Corner units in Oswestry gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

Do you need permission for a sign in Oswestry?

Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.

Projecting and hanging signs in Oswestry: 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.

Do you cover smaller places near Oswestry as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Oswestry itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Shropshire 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.

Why is there a price range for projecting and hanging signs rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £395 to £1,350 per sign + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Oswestry.

Will a hanging sign swing or squeak?

A sign hung from hooks or chains will move in the wind, which is part of the traditional look. Nylon or brass bushes on the hooks reduce squeaking and wear. On an exposed corner, a fixed blade sign mounted rigidly to the bracket won't swing at all.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Oswestry?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.
