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 Hinckley
- An estate agent in Hinckley may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Professional practices in Hinckley, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
- Shoppers walking along a Hinckley pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.
What tray signs cost in Hinckley
The table shows guide prices for tray signs, starting from £1,250 and reaching about £3,450 per sign. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.
| 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 Hinckley?
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.
