Projecting signs in Derbyshire
Bracket position matters on sensitive buildings in the East Midlands, especially if your Derbyshire premises are listed or in a conservation area.
Upper-floor businesses in the East Midlands can use a projecting sign to show customers which Derbyshire door leads to them. If customers walk past your Derbyshire shop without seeing the fascia, a sign at right angles can catch them from along the street.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Derbyshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Derbyshire, including Chesterfield, Derby, Ilkeston, Long Eaton.
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.
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.
