Professional A-board setup for businesses - your pavement sign assembled, properly weighted, and positioned for maximum visibility. Customers know you're open for business.
First Impression Counts
Pavement signs catch passing trade. But they need proper setup - wobbly boards and poor positioning look unprofessional and can blow over or cause obstructions.
💡 Pro tip: Position boards where pedestrians naturally look, not blocking the pavement. Angled slightly toward traffic flow works best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply the A-board?
We can source A-boards if needed, or set up ones you've purchased. Many businesses buy online but need someone to assemble and position properly.
Is there council permission needed?
Often yes - pavement signs usually need a street trading licence. We can set up, but you'll need to check council rules for your area. Exeter and Devon have specific requirements.
What if it's windy?
Proper weighting is essential. We ensure bases are filled correctly and position away from gusts. Very windy days - some businesses bring boards in. That's your call.
Can you do chalk lettering?
Basic setup only - we position and weight the board. Chalk artistry is a different skill. We can set up the frame ready for your signwriting.
