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.
Practical reasons to consider tray signs in Alloa
- An estate agent in Alloa may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Where several Alloa shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Alloa building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.

Do you need permission for a sign in Alloa?
In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
Covering Alloa and Forth Valley
Yes, Alloa is covered, as is the rest of Forth Valley. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Addresses in FK10 and FK12 are all within our Alloa coverage. From Stirling, Alloa is roughly 5.7 miles to the east.
