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.
Reasons to choose tray signs in Winsford
- Where several Winsford shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- If your Winsford premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- Clinics and salons in Winsford wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.

Do you need permission for a sign in Winsford?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
