Projecting and hanging signs in Epsom

Getting projecting and hanging signs right comes down to accurate measuring, materials that suit the surface and a check of the rules before anything is ordered. That is how Smart Signs approaches every job in Epsom and elsewhere in the UK: survey or photos first, then a scaled proof and a written quote, then making and fitting once you are happy.

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 Epsom

  • With an older frontage, an Epsom pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
  • Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for an Epsom frontage.
  • Upstairs businesses in Epsom, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.

Do you need permission for a sign in Epsom?

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.

Covering Epsom and Surrey

Jobs in Epsom are handled the same way as jobs anywhere else in Surrey: one team, one process. If the work calls for a survey, we book a visit at a time that suits you. If photos and sizes will do, we quote from those and skip the visit altogether. Addresses in KT18, KT17, KT19 and KT21 are all within our Epsom coverage. Epsom is about 12 miles east of Woking.

Projecting and hanging signs in Epsom: questions

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.

What is the typical timescale for projecting and hanging signs from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Epsom.

Who carries out the work on projecting and hanging signs in Epsom?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

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.

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.

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 Epsom.
