From £1,950 per totem + VAT · UK guide price
Tall grey aluminium totem with an orange stripe listing business-park tenants at a site entrance.

A totem sign is a free-standing sign on its own foundation, typically 1.5–4 m tall, used at site entrances and car parks to show a business name, tenants or directions where a wall sign won't be seen.

Why choose totem and pylon signs for a business in Dungannon?

  • On an industrial estate around Dungannon with several entrances, directional totems at each junction point deliveries to the right unit.
  • Retail units sharing a Dungannon car park can use one multi-tenant pylon instead of a cluster of boards competing for attention.
  • If your Dungannon site entrance is close to a busy junction, keeping the totem outside the visibility splay matters as much as its looks.

Totem and pylon signs in Dungannon: permission and rules

A free-standing totem usually needs express advertisement consent from the council's planning department, especially if it is illuminated, tall or close to a road. In England, decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Illuminated totems cannot rely on deemed consent in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. Councils also look at highway safety, so a site plan showing sightlines helps. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own advertisement regulations and application routes. We can prepare the drawings, site plan and photos for an application, or submit it for you.

Totem and pylon signs in Dungannon: questions

What do you need from me to quote for totem and pylon signs in Dungannon?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

What drawings does the council need for a totem?

Councils usually ask for a location plan, a site plan showing the sign's position, and scaled elevations with dimensions, materials, colours and height above ground. For a lit totem, the illumination method and brightness are usually requested too. We can prepare these drawings and photos for you.

What can delay totem and pylon signs in Dungannon?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Will you need to dig up the car park?

A section of surfacing is broken out where the foundation goes, usually a little larger than the sign base. Once the totem is installed, the surface is reinstated to match as closely as practical. We plan the dig around traffic so the site can stay open where possible.

What makes totem and pylon signs more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Dungannon is £1,950–£9,800 per totem + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Can a totem go on a grass verge or soft ground?

Usually, yes, but soft or made-up ground may need a larger or deeper foundation, and the engineer may ask for a trial hole first near trees or recent fill. Verges beside public roads often belong to the highway authority, so check ownership before fixing the position.
