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.
Practical reasons to consider tray signs in Gelligaer
- Professional practices in Gelligaer, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
- Shoppers walking along a Gelligaer pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Gelligaer building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
What tray signs cost in Gelligaer
How much? Expect a guide range of £1,250–£3,450 per sign, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| 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 Gelligaer?
Putting up a non-illuminated sign in Wales? Some signs on business premises can go up under deemed consent, but the 1992 Advertisement Regulations that apply in Wales set their own conditions, which differ in detail from England's. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent too, with fixings into mortar joints rather than the stone or brick face generally preferred. Our approach is simple: we confirm with the council what applies to your building before you spend anything, then prepare the drawings or submit the application for you if one is needed.
