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.
What tray signs can do for businesses in Longton
- Clinics and salons in Longton wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
- Where several Longton shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- Shoppers walking along a Longton pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.

Do you need permission for a sign in Longton?
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.
