Tray signs in Blairgowrie and Rattray

Every business in Blairgowrie and Rattray wants its signage to do one job properly, whether that means being read from the road, giving a little privacy or making glass obvious to people walking towards it. Our approach to tray signs starts there, with sizes and materials chosen for the building or vehicle in question. We work UK-wide, so enquiries from Blairgowrie and Rattray and across Perth and Kinross follow one straightforward process.

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.

Why choose tray signs for a business in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

  • Businesses moving into a refurbished Blairgowrie and Rattray building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
  • Where several Blairgowrie and Rattray shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
  • Clinics and salons in Blairgowrie and Rattray wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.

Do you need permission for a sign in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

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.

Tray signs in Blairgowrie and Rattray: questions

What colour should the tray be?

Pick a colour that contrasts strongly with your lettering and suits the frontage. Charcoal, anthracite and black with white or metallic letters read clearly on most buildings, while light trays with dark letters suit darker brick. Matching the RAL colour of your window frames gives a coordinated look.

Does the price of tray signs in Blairgowrie and Rattray include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £1,250–£3,450 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Do you work across Perth and Kinross or only in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

Across all of Perth and Kinross, and the rest of the UK too. Blairgowrie and Rattray is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Do tray signs dent or scratch?

Powder-coated aluminium is tough, but a folded tray can dent if struck by a ladder or vehicle, and deep scratches expose bare metal. Touch-up paint is available in the RAL colour, though repairs are rarely invisible. On low fascias near loading areas, a higher fixing position helps.

How deep is a tray sign?

Returns are usually 50–75 mm, enough to hide a fixing rail and give a visible edge. Deeper trays are possible where you want room for LED modules later or need to cover an uneven fascia, and we set the depth at survey based on what is behind.

How long does it take to get tray signs in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.
