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.
Tray signs in Urmston: the practical benefits
- If your Urmston premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- Where several Urmston shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Urmston 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 Urmston?
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.
