Projecting signs in Bedfordshire
Bracket fixings depend on the wall, so we check the brick, stone or render on your Bedfordshire premises at the outset.
Before fixing anything over the pavement in Bedfordshire, we check what clearance the highway or roads authority expects and whether it needs a licence. Bracket position matters on sensitive buildings in the East of England, especially if your Bedfordshire premises are listed or in a conservation area.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Bedfordshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bedfordshire, including Bedford, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Luton.
How high does a projecting sign need to be?
Many authorities expect at least 2.5 m clear above the pavement, and some ask for more. In England, lit signs relying on Class 4B deemed consent must meet 2.5 m. The highway authority may set its own clearance, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Will a projecting sign damage my wall?
It should not, if the bracket is fixed into sound masonry with the right anchors. Older brick or stone may need different fixings, and listed buildings will need consent. We check the wall first and use mortar joints for fixings where that is the better choice.
Who is responsible if a sign falls?
Usually the person who owns or controls the sign, which makes regular checks worthwhile. Your public liability cover should include it, and your lease may say who maintains it. Look at the bracket and fixings every so often, particularly after high winds.
