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.
Why choose tray signs for a business in Chepstow?
- A modern Chepstow retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- Shoppers walking along a Chepstow pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Chepstow building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
What tray signs cost in Chepstow
Use these figures to budget: £1,250 to £3,450 per sign is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over 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 Chepstow?
Deemed or express consent? In Wales the answer depends on the 1992 Control of Advertisements Regulations, as amended, rather than the English 2007 version. A plain, unlit sign on your own business frontage is often allowed without applying, within limits on size and position, but the details differ from England's, and conservation areas call for extra care. If the building is listed, expect to need listed building consent too. We check with the council before you commit to tray signs, and can prepare the drawings and photographs or handle the submission for you.
