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 you gain from tray signs in Stornoway
- An estate agent in Stornoway may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Where several Stornoway shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- A modern Stornoway retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.

Do you need permission for a sign in Stornoway?
In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
Covering Stornoway and the Highlands and Islands
Our coverage takes in Stornoway, the rest of the Highlands and Islands 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. The Stornoway postcode districts we quote for include HS1.
Stornoway is reached by ferry, so surveys and fitting are arranged case by case and the crossing is itemised on your quote.
The next step costs nothing: send us photos and sizes, and we will quote for tray signs free of charge. You see and approve the design first, so nothing is made on guesswork.
