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.
Points in favour of tray signs in Brecon
- Where several Brecon shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- If your Brecon premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- An estate agent in Brecon 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 Brecon?
Wales still uses the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. The system looks similar to England's, with some signs allowed under deemed consent and others needing express consent from the council, but the details differ, so we check with the local planning authority rather than assume English limits apply. On a listed building, listed building consent is usually needed as well, and works without it can be a criminal offence. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
Covering Brecon and Powys
From the middle of Brecon to the edges of Powys, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. In postcode terms, Brecon jobs typically fall in LD3. Brecon is about 40 miles south of Newtown.
