Fascia & Shop Front Signs

Types of Fascia and Shop Front Signs We Build

3mm Aluminium Composite Fascia Signs

Flat panel signs using 3mm aluminium composite (Dibond) — lightweight, weatherproof, and printed in full colour with your branding. The most popular and cost-effective shopfront sign option.

From £450 | 7-10 year lifespan

Illuminated Fascia Signs

Fascia signs with integrated LED illumination — either backlit acrylic panels or built-up illuminated letters on a fascia tray. Ensures maximum visibility day and night, especially during winter evenings.

From £1,500 | 7-10 year lifespan

Fascia Tray with Built-Up Letters

An aluminium fascia tray (colour-matched to your brand) with 3D built-up letters mounted on top. Creates depth, shadow, and a premium look. Can be illuminated or non-illuminated.

From £1,020 | 10-15 year lifespan

Projecting Shop Signs

Double-sided signs projecting at 90 degrees from your building, visible to pedestrians from both directions. Fitted with metal bracket arms and can be illuminated. Essential for high street visibility.

From £900 | 7-10 year lifespan

Materials and Specifications

Aluminium Composite (3mm)

Dibond panels (3mm) offer the best balance of durability, weight, and cost. Two aluminium skins with a polyethylene core — rustproof, weatherproof, and dimensionally stable. Printed with UV-stable inks rated for 5+ years outdoor fade resistance.

Fascia Trays

Aluminium fascia trays are fabricated from 2mm aluminium sheet, folded to shape with returns of 100-200mm. Powder-coated to any RAL colour. Trays conceal the fascia surface and provide a clean, professional mounting for letters and lighting.

Vinyl and Overlay

For budget-conscious projects, we can apply premium cast vinyl graphics directly to existing fascia panels. Using Avery or 3M cast vinyl (5-7 year outdoor rating), this is a fast, affordable way to refresh your shopfront branding.

Installation Hardware

All fixings are stainless steel or galvanised steel rated for exterior use. We use structural adhesives and mechanical fixings depending on the substrate. Every installation is wind-load assessed for the sign size and location.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do shop front signs cost in Newcastle?

Shop front signs start from £250 for a basic vinyl fascia, £450-£1,200 for aluminium composite panels with cut vinyl or acrylic lettering, and £1,500-£4,500 for illuminated fascia signs. Free site surveys and quotes available.

Do I need planning permission for a shop front sign in Newcastle?

Most non-illuminated fascia signs on commercial premises do not require planning permission. Illuminated signs, projecting signs over public footways, and signs in conservation areas typically need advertisement consent. We can advise you on the process.

What materials do you use for shop front signs?

We use aluminium composite (Dibond), acrylic, PVC foam, and stainless steel for fascia signs. For illuminated signs, we use LED light boxes and built-up lettering with acrylic faces. All materials are weatherproof and UV-stable.

Can you remove and dispose of my old shop sign?

Yes. Removal and disposal of existing signage is included in our installation service. We safely remove old signs, clean the fascia, and install the new sign with minimal disruption to your business.

How long does shop front sign installation take?

Most shop front signs are installed in 2-4 hours. Larger illuminated signs or complete shop front refurbs may take 1-2 days. We work around your business hours where possible to minimise disruption.
