Fascia signs in Dorset
We send artwork proofs for sign-off, so owners in the South West can check wording and colour before a Dorset sign goes into production.
Fixings go into whatever is behind the fascia, so we check that your Dorset sign board is sound before mounting anything. A new fascia is often the first change a business makes to a Dorset unit, and it can go up without touching the glass.

How much does it cost in Dorset?
As a guide, allow £395 to £1,695 ex VAT per sign. We measure the fascia on your Dorset shop so the panel fits the board you actually have, not a stock size. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
What size should my fascia sign be?
Size it to the existing fascia, in proportion to the building. A sign that runs beyond the fascia line or covers upper-floor features tends to look wrong and can cause consent problems. In England, deemed consent limits lettering to 0.75 m high on most business signs.
What should go on a fascia sign?
Put your business name first, then a short line on what you sell and perhaps a phone number. Fewer words read better from across the street or a passing car. Choose high contrast between letters and background, and leave space at each end.
Can a new sign go over my old one?
Yes, if the old sign is firmly fixed and the structure is sound. Otherwise it should come off, so that we can inspect the board behind it and make repairs. Overcladding can hide rot or loose fixings, so we check first.
