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 Enniskillen?

  • Where several Enniskillen shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
  • Professional practices in Enniskillen, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
  • If your Enniskillen 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 Enniskillen?

Signs in Northern Ireland are covered by the 2015 Control of Advertisements Regulations (NI), not the English or Scottish versions. Whether an unlit sign needs an application depends on its size, where it sits on the building and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Where consent is needed, the council handles it, with applications made online via the NI Planning Portal. For listed buildings, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check what applies to your premises before anything is ordered, and we can prepare or submit the application for you.

Tray signs in Enniskillen: questions

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.

How deep is a tray sign?

Returns are usually 50–75 mm, enough to hide a fixing rail and give a visible edge. Deeper trays are possible where you want room for LED modules later or need to cover an uneven fascia, and we set the depth at survey based on what is behind.

Will the location in Enniskillen affect the cost of tray signs?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £1,250–£3,450 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Enniskillen are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

What colour should the tray be?

Pick a colour that contrasts strongly with your lettering and suits the frontage. Charcoal, anthracite and black with white or metallic letters read clearly on most buildings, while light trays with dark letters suit darker brick. Matching the RAL colour of your window frames gives a coordinated look.

Do you cover smaller places near Enniskillen as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Enniskillen itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across County Fermanagh are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

What can delay tray signs in Enniskillen?

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.
