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.
Where tray signs can pay off in Tiverton
- A modern Tiverton retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- An estate agent in Tiverton may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- If your Tiverton premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
What tray signs cost in Tiverton
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For tray signs the range is £1,250–£3,450 per sign, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Tray sign up to 3 m, vinyl lettering | £1,250 – £2,100 | £1,500 – £2,520 |
| Tray sign 3–5 m, raised acrylic lettering | £1,850 – £3,450 | £2,220 – £4,140 |
| Push-through or routed letters (non-lit) | £350 – £950 | £420 – £1,140 |
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 Tiverton?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
