Projecting and hanging signs in Nuneaton

When it comes to projecting and hanging signs in Nuneaton, the useful questions are practical ones. What size? Which material? Is consent needed, and what will it cost? This page answers them. We supply and fit signs, window graphics and vehicle livery throughout the UK, Nuneaton and the rest of Warwickshire included, with a scaled proof and a fixed price agreed before anything is made.

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 Nuneaton?

  • With an older frontage, a Nuneaton pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
  • Corner units in Nuneaton gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.
  • Visitors browsing Nuneaton on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.

What projecting and hanging signs cost in Nuneaton

How much? Expect a guide range of £395–£1,350 per sign, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.

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 Nuneaton?

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 Nuneaton: 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.

Is there a guide price for projecting and hanging signs in Nuneaton?

Yes: £395–£1,350 per sign + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

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

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.

Will someone visit my premises in Nuneaton before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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 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.
