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 Crieff?

  • Where several Crieff shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
  • If your Crieff premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
  • Clinics and salons in Crieff wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.

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 Crieff?

Different rules apply in Scotland. The 1984 Scotland Regulations decide whether a non-illuminated sign needs advertisement consent, and while some shop and office signs can go up without applying, the details are not the same as in England. Historic buildings deserve care: listed building consent is usually needed for signs on listed buildings under the 1997 Scotland Act, and carrying out works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm what applies before you commit to tray signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.

Tray signs in Crieff: questions

Do you cover smaller places near Crieff as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Crieff itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Perth and Kinross are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

Can a tray sign cover an old fascia completely?

Yes, in most cases. A tray can be sized to the full fascia board with folded ends that wrap the corners, hiding the old timber. We still check the board is sound and fix through to solid structure, because hidden rot can loosen fixings over time.

When could work on tray signs go ahead in Crieff?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Can I get a fixed price for tray signs in Crieff before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £1,250 to £3,450 per sign excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

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.

Do tray signs suit office buildings and business parks?

Yes. Trays suit entrances, canopies and plain cladding as well as shop fascias, and can be fixed to brick, render or cladding rails. For cladding we confirm the fixing method with the building owner first, since drilling some panel systems can affect how they perform.
