Projecting signs in Cheshire
Upper-floor businesses in the North West can use a projecting sign to show customers which Cheshire door leads to them.
Bracket fixings depend on the wall, so we check the brick, stone or render on your Cheshire premises at the outset. Before fixing anything over the pavement in Cheshire, we check what clearance the highway or roads authority expects and whether it needs a licence.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Cheshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cheshire, including Chester, Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port.
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.
Do I need permission for a projecting sign?
Often, yes. In England, non-illuminated signs may have deemed consent, but lit ones lose that route in conservation areas and similar places. The highway authority may also license anything over the pavement. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own rules, and we check these first.
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.
