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 Strood
- A modern Strood retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- Clinics and salons in Strood wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Strood 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 Strood?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
