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 Nuneaton
- If your Nuneaton premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.
- A modern Nuneaton retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- Clinics and salons in Nuneaton wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
What tray signs cost in Nuneaton
Here is the price picture for tray signs in Nuneaton: a guide of £1,250 to £3,450 per sign, with VAT on top. The rows below give more detail. A survey or artwork check comes first, and then we confirm the price in writing.
| 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 Nuneaton?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
