Good to Know
> 🔧 **Conservation area?** Central Exeter and many villages have restrictions on signs. Check council rules before installing - you might need permission even for small signs. **Vinyl vs rigid signs.** Vinyl stickers don't need mounting (just stick to window/wall), but rigid signs look more professional and last longer outdoors. **Illuminated signs.** These need electrical work which must be done by a qualified electrician. I can coordinate both if needed. **Wind loading.** Large signs act like sails in wind. Need substantial fixings and possibly post-mounting for big boards.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sign board installation in Ottery St Mary
Do I need planning permission for a sign?
Depends on size, location, and whether it's illuminated. Small business signs on your own building usually don't need permission. Larger signs, or anything on listed buildings or conservation areas (like central Ottery St Mary) often do. Check with the council first if unsure.
Can you mount signs to any wall?
Most walls yes - brick, block, render. Some restrictions on listed buildings. If the wall's unsuitable, I can suggest post-mounting instead. I'll advise what works for your situation.
How do you stop signs being stolen?
Security fixings with one-way screws (can be fitted but not removed easily), or bolts accessible only from behind the sign. Most opportunistic theft is deterred by visible difficulty. For high-value signs, tamper-resistant fixings are worth it.
Will the sign be level and straight?
That's the job - measure, level, mark, mount. Wonky signs look unprofessional. I use a level and take time to get it right.
Can you install illuminated signs?
I can mount the sign, but any electrical work (wiring, power supply) needs a qualified electrician. I can coordinate that if you need both done together.
