Projecting and hanging signs in Mirfield

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 Mirfield 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.

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 Mirfield?

  • When Mirfield pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.
  • If your Mirfield street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
  • Upstairs businesses in Mirfield, 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 Mirfield?

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 Mirfield: questions

Do you work across West Yorkshire or only in Mirfield?

Across all of West Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK too. Mirfield is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

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

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.

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.

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.

Does the price of projecting and hanging signs in Mirfield 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.

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.
