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.
Reasons to choose tray signs in Bootle
- Where several Bootle shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Bootle building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
- An estate agent in Bootle may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.

Do you need permission for a sign in Bootle?
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.
