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.
What you gain from tray signs in Swinton
- A modern Swinton retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- If your Swinton premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- Clinics and salons in Swinton wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
What tray signs cost in Swinton
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £1,250 to £3,450 per sign, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.
| 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 Swinton?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
