Fascia signs Tyne and Wear

A new fascia is often the first change a business makes to a Tyne and Wear unit, and it can go up without touching the glass. Fixings go into whatever is behind the fascia, so we check that your Tyne and Wear sign board is sound before mounting anything.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Do I need permission for a fascia sign?

Not always. In England, many non-illuminated signs on business premises have deemed consent, within limits on size and height. Listed buildings can need listed building consent, and signs in conservation areas get closer attention. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so tell us where you are.

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.

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.
