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 Newcastle-under-Lyme

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

Do you need permission for a sign in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

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 Newcastle-under-Lyme: questions

Is Newcastle-under-Lyme inside your coverage area for projecting and hanging signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Newcastle-under-Lyme and every part of Staffordshire 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.

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.

What is the price of projecting and hanging signs for a business in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Guide pricing runs from £395 to £1,350 per sign, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

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.

What can delay projecting and hanging signs in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

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.
