Window graphics are full-colour images or branding printed on self-adhesive vinyl and applied to glass, outside or reverse-printed for the inside, so the window works as a sign.

Good reasons to look at window graphics in Hayes

  • If your Hayes premises is in a conservation area, we check with the council first, as large window graphics can be restricted.
  • Empty units in Hayes can be dressed with printed vinyl so they look cared for while being let.
  • When a Hayes unit changes hands with old graphics still up, removal and rebranding can happen in one visit.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Hayes

Two sets of rules can touch glass graphics in England. The first is advertisement control: lettering and graphics on the inside of a shop window are often outside it or allowed, but councils differ, and conservation areas and listed shopfronts can bring restrictions on large graphics. The second is safety. Approved Document K points to manifestation bands at 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm from the floor, and in workplaces regulation 14 of the 1992 Workplace Regulations requires glazing to be marked where needed. We take both into account when we set out the proof, and we check with the council where the building or street calls for it.

Covering Hayes and Greater London

We take on work in Hayes, across Greater London and throughout the UK. When a survey makes sense, typically for anything fixed at height or illuminated, we arrange a visit. Graphics are often priced from pictures and dimensions, with a survey added only if the photos leave questions. The Hayes postcode districts we quote for include UB3, UB4, UB11 and UB7. Roughly 13 miles separate Hayes from central London, which lies to the east.

Window graphics in Hayes: questions

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on window graphics happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Hayes once materials are ordered.

Is Hayes inside your coverage area for window graphics?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Hayes and every part of Greater London are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Can graphics go on a glass door too?

Yes, and the door is often where people look first. We keep graphics clear of the handle and push plate, laminate anything on the outside face, and leave a clear area at eye level if staff need to see who's coming in.

Do we have to close for fitting?

Usually not. A single shopfront is typically fitted in a few hours once the glass is clean, and the fitter needs only a clear strip by the window. Large or high frontages take longer, and the work can usually be booked before opening or after closing.

Can you match our brand colours?

Closely, in most cases. Print builds colour from a small set of inks, so some vivid oranges, greens and metallics can't be matched exactly. Send your brand colour references; for a critical colour, we can print a sample to compare first.

Why is there a price range for window graphics rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £28 to £58 per m² + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Hayes.
