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 Peebles
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Peebles building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
- A modern Peebles retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- An estate agent in Peebles may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
What tray signs cost in Peebles
Pricing for tray signs is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £1,250 to £3,450 per sign + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Tray sign up to 3 m, vinyl lettering | £1,250 – £2,100 | £1,500 – £2,520 |
| Tray sign 3–5 m, raised acrylic lettering | £1,850 – £3,450 | £2,220 – £4,140 |
| Push-through or routed letters (non-lit) | £350 – £950 | £420 – £1,140 |
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 Peebles?
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.
