Shop signage and fascias across the Scottish Borders
Businesses across the Scottish Borders use us for shop signage and fascias because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Peebles, Kelso, Galashiels.
Shop signage covers the fascia sign above the shopfront, projecting or hanging signs, built-up and illuminated letters, and window graphics.
What is shopfitting like in the Scottish Borders?
In Scottish Borders we mostly see high street units and corner shops and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Border towns have compact, historic high streets where shopfront changes are often in conservation areas.
What does the work include?
- Projecting and hanging signs
- Window vinyls and frosting
- Internal wayfinding
- Electrical connection and timers
Planning and building control in the Scottish Borders
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
- Illuminated signs normally need advertisement consent from the council.
- Conservation areas often restrict internally lit box signs.
