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.
The case for tray signs in Holloway
- Shoppers walking along a Holloway pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.
- Professional practices in Holloway, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Holloway building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
What tray signs cost in Holloway
Budgeting for tray signs? The guide below runs from £1,250 to £3,450 per sign. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking 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 Holloway?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
Covering Holloway and Greater London
