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.
What totem and pylon signs can do for businesses in Welling
- Landlords letting units in Welling can keep totems current with spare blank inserts, so a new tenant's panel slots straight in.
- Retail units sharing a Welling car park can use one multi-tenant pylon instead of a cluster of boards competing for attention.
- When a business park near Welling hides its units behind landscaping, an entrance totem tells visitors which turning to take.
What totem and pylon signs cost in Welling
Use these figures to budget: £1,950 to £9,800 per totem is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.

Totem and pylon signs in Welling: 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.
