Getting a hanging sign right is about more than just the design. Every detail matters.
Our in-house team can create artwork, match brand colours and produce visuals like proposed elevations and photo montages. This helps you see exactly how your signage will look before production begins.
We also carry out detailed surveys. These include accurate measurements, substrate checks, fixing strategies and access planning. By doing this, we make sure your sign fits perfectly and can be installed safely.
If planning permission is required, we can help. We regularly submit Advertisement Consent applications for shopfronts, conservation areas and heritage buildings across the UK.
The structure and safety of your sign are equally important. We advise on bracket selection, anchor points and load testing. For illuminated hanging signs, we also ensure full compliance with low-voltage LED systems, drivers and isolators.
