What a shop sign typically costs

Every job is bespoke, but here’s what most Northumberland retailers pay — so you know before you call.

Window graphics
From £150
Cut vinyl logos, frosting, promotional graphics. Installed in a single visit.
Projecting sign
£350–£900
Double-sided, bracket-mounted. Catches pedestrian traffic coming from either direction.
New letters on your existing fascia
From £400
Fascia board in good shape? We cut new letters and fix them straight onto it. The quickest, cheapest way to refresh a shopfront or take over a unit.
Standard fascia (up to 5m)
From £850
Flat printed ACM fascia up to 5m × 0.6m, design included, fitted from our own tower. The usual choice for an independent shopfront.
Fascia sign
From £400
Printed or vinyl fascia on ACM panel, surveyed and fitted. Small single-panel fascia from £400; a standard fascia up to 5m is from £850, and a typical 4–6m independent shopfront is £850–£2,000.
Illuminated fascia
From £1,750
Trough-lit or LED tray fascia. Wired and PAT-tested, planning help included; electrician’s mains connection excluded. See real fitted examples below.
3D letters
From £750
Flat-cut letters from £750, built-up letters from £1,500, halo or face-lit from £2,500. Standing off the fascia or wall.
Full shopfront
£2,500–£6,000
Fascia + 3D letters + window graphics combined. Most common for refits or new stores.

Just opening? We can spread the cost.

We get it. Start-up costs always run to more than you think. By the time the fit-out, the stock and the deposits are paid, there often isn’t much left for the sign, and that’s exactly when a lot of our clients come to us.

So for new businesses we’re happy to agree a payment plan: a deposit to get started, then the rest spread over a few months once you’re open and trading. Plans are interest-free, in up to 12 monthly payments, and fully paid within a year. Just mention it when you get in touch and we’ll sort out something that works for you.

What actually goes into a shopfront sign

Most fascia signs go up 3–4m above pavement level, so the price isn’t just the panel. Here’s where a typical £1,500 fitted quote actually spends.

Site survey & drawings
Included
A trip to measure, check the wall substrate and confirm access. Scale drawings for your approval before we cut anything.
Access & equipment
£250–£450
Scaffold tower, cherry-picker or MEWP hire depending on height and pavement restrictions. Charged at cost.
Install team
£400–£700
A qualified 2–3 person crew for the day. Remove old signage, mount, seal, tidy site, hand over.
Compliance
Included
RAMS documentation, IPAF & PASMA cover, PAT testing for illuminated work, planning support where needed.

The panel and lettering are usually less than half the total. It’s the survey, safe access and skilled install that separate a proper fitted sign from a printed board screwed to the wall.

Planning an illuminated sign? See what others paid

LED and illuminated fascia signs cost more than plain vinyl — the fitting, wiring, PAT testing and planning add up. Here’s what real Northumberland customers paid for their fitted illuminated signage, so you know what to budget before you enquire.

Small café illuminated fascia
£2,500 fitted
2m fascia tray, halo-lit cut letters, single-phase supply, standard access. Typical village high-street café.
Restaurant illuminated + projecting
£4,200 fitted
3m LED fascia + double-sided projecting bracket sign. Conservation area, planning consent handled.
Corporate / retail illuminated shopfront
£8,500 fitted
4m+ illuminated fascia, 3D built-up halo-lit letters, window graphics, cherry-picker access.

These are real fitted prices from recent work — not "from" numbers with hidden extras. Your quote will land inside these bands depending on size, access, and planning. Nothing added afterwards.
