Shop signage and fascias in Lancashire
Our shop signage and fascias team works across Lancashire and the wider North West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Chorley, Preston, Blackpool.
Shop signage covers the fascia sign above the shopfront, projecting or hanging signs, built-up and illuminated letters, and window graphics.
Working in Lancashire
In Lancashire we mostly see high street units and corner shops and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
What does the work include?
- Window vinyls and frosting
- Internal wayfinding
- Electrical connection and timers
- Fascia panels and trays
Planning and building control in Lancashire
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- Illuminated signs normally need advertisement consent from the council.
- Conservation areas often restrict internally lit box signs.
