Projecting and hanging signs in Burgess Hill

Whether your business in Burgess Hill is opening, rebranding or replacing something tired, projecting and hanging signs can be planned properly from the start. We look at the building or vehicle, the viewing distance and the consent position, then put a scaled drawing and a written price in front of you. Smart Signs covers Burgess Hill, the rest of West Sussex and the wider UK.

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.

Practical reasons to consider projecting and hanging signs in Burgess Hill

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

Pricing for projecting and hanging signs is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £395 to £1,350 per sign + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.

Do you need permission for a sign in Burgess Hill?

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 Burgess Hill: questions

Is Burgess Hill inside your coverage area for projecting and hanging signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Burgess Hill and every part of West Sussex 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.

Does the price of projecting and hanging signs in Burgess Hill include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £395–£1,350 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

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.

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 Burgess Hill.

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.
