Tray signs in Craigavon

Your enquiry about tray signs in Craigavon goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Craigavon as it is throughout County Armagh.

From £1,250 per sign + VAT · UK guide price

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.

Why choose tray signs for a business in Craigavon?

  • Businesses moving into a refurbished Craigavon building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
  • If your Craigavon premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
  • An estate agent in Craigavon may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.

What tray signs cost in Craigavon

The figures in this table are guide prices, from £1,250 to £3,450 per sign, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.

Length matters most, because longer trays need joints, more coating and more fixing rail. Then come the lettering method, letter count, special or metallic powder coats, access height and removal of the old sign. Every figure is confirmed after survey and an artwork check.

Do you need permission for a sign in Craigavon?

Northern Ireland has its own rules: the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. As elsewhere in the UK, some signs on business premises can be displayed without an application while others need consent, but the limits are specific to Northern Ireland, so we check with the council rather than rely on English figures. Applications go to the council through the NI Planning Portal. A sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent under the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.

Tray signs in Craigavon: questions

What can delay tray signs in Craigavon?

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.

How much should I budget for tray signs in Craigavon?

As a guide, £1,250–£3,450 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Do tray signs dent or scratch?

Powder-coated aluminium is tough, but a folded tray can dent if struck by a ladder or vehicle, and deep scratches expose bare metal. Touch-up paint is available in the RAL colour, though repairs are rarely invisible. On low fascias near loading areas, a higher fixing position helps.

Will someone visit my premises in Craigavon before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

Do tray signs suit office buildings and business parks?

Yes. Trays suit entrances, canopies and plain cladding as well as shop fascias, and can be fixed to brick, render or cladding rails. For cladding we confirm the fixing method with the building owner first, since drilling some panel systems can affect how they perform.

Can a tray sign cover an old fascia completely?

Yes, in most cases. A tray can be sized to the full fascia board with folded ends that wrap the corners, hiding the old timber. We still check the board is sound and fix through to solid structure, because hidden rot can loosen fixings over time.
