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.
Good reasons to look at tray signs in Birkenhead
- An estate agent in Birkenhead may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Shoppers walking along a Birkenhead pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.
- Where several Birkenhead shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.

Do you need permission for a sign in Birkenhead?
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.
