Tray signs are fascia signs folded from aluminium sheet so the face turns back at the edges into returns, typically 50–75 mm deep, then powder coated and hung on concealed fixings.
What tray signs can do for businesses in Huntingdon
- An estate agent in Huntingdon may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Clinics and salons in Huntingdon wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
- If your Huntingdon premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.

Do you need permission for a sign in Huntingdon?
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.
