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 Waterlooville
- If your Waterlooville premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- A modern Waterlooville retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Waterlooville 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 Waterlooville?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
