Sign Makers South Shields — Your Questions Answered
Do you cover South Shields and the surrounding area?
Yes. We cover the town centre, Cleadon, Hebburn, Jarrow, Whitburn and the wider South Tyneside area. We are based just over the river in Blaydon, so South Shields businesses get prompt surveys and installs. Call 0800 288 8004 to arrange a free site survey.
How much do shop front signs cost in South Shields?
A standard fascia sign starts from £420, illuminated signs from £540, and 3D built-up letters from £100 per letter. Every quote includes VAT, design, manufacture and installation. Call 0800 288 8004 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Do I need planning permission for a sign in South Shields?
Most standard fascia signs on commercial premises do not need planning permission. Illuminated signs, projecting signs over public footways, and signs in conservation areas typically need advertisement consent from South Tyneside Council. We can advise and handle the application for you.
How long does sign installation take in South Shields?
Most projects are completed within 2-3 weeks from sign-off, with rush jobs available. Because everything is made in-house at our Blaydon workshop, we can often survey and install within days for local businesses.
