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 Cirencester
- Clinics and salons in Cirencester wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Cirencester building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
- Where several Cirencester shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
What tray signs cost in Cirencester
Guide prices start from £1,250 and go up to £3,450 per sign, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.
| 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 Cirencester?
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.
