Projecting and hanging signs in Tynemouth

Your enquiry about projecting and hanging signs in Tynemouth 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 Tynemouth as it is throughout Tyne and Wear.

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 Tynemouth

  • With an older frontage, a Tynemouth pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
  • Visitors browsing Tynemouth on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
  • A small Tynemouth 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 Tynemouth?

Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.

Projecting and hanging signs in Tynemouth: questions

Who is responsible if a projecting sign falls?

The building owner or occupier is usually responsible for keeping a sign over the highway safe, which is why regular checks matter. Ask your own insurer to confirm your cover includes signs over the footway. A correctly sized bracket in sound masonry, checked after storms, reduces the risk.

When could work on projecting and hanging signs go ahead in Tynemouth?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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.

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 Tynemouth.

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.
