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 tray signs can do for businesses in Blackwood
- If your Blackwood premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- An estate agent in Blackwood 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 Blackwood building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
What tray signs cost in Blackwood
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 |

| 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 Blackwood?
Wales still uses the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. The system looks similar to England's, with some signs allowed under deemed consent and others needing express consent from the council, but the details differ, so we check with the local planning authority rather than assume English limits apply. On a listed building, listed building consent is usually needed as well, and works without it can be a criminal offence. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
Covering Blackwood and Gwent
Our coverage takes in Blackwood, the rest of Gwent and the rest of the UK. Fitted signs usually start with a site visit so the wall can be measured, the fixings checked and access planned. Window and vehicle graphics can often be priced from your own pictures instead. Around Blackwood, that covers postcode districts such as NP12, CF82 and CF81. Blackwood lies around 10 miles north-west of Newport.
