Frequently Asked Questions
What types of signs?
Fascia signs, projecting signs, A-boards, window signs - most retail signage. Very large or illuminated signs may need specialists with specific equipment.
Do you need planning permission?
Many shop signs need advertisement consent. That's your responsibility to check before ordering. We just hang what's been approved and delivered.
What about illuminated signs?
We can hang illuminated signs but electrical connection needs an electrician. We mount, they wire.
Can you remove old signs first?
Yes - removing old signage, making good the surface, and installing new. Part of the service.
