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.
Reasons to choose tray signs in Oldham
- An estate agent in Oldham may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Oldham building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
- A modern Oldham retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.

Do you need permission for a sign in Oldham?
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.
