Projecting signs in Somerset
If customers walk past your Somerset shop without seeing the fascia, a sign at right angles can catch them from along the street.
Owners across the South West can add a projecting sign to a fascia order, so the Somerset frontage can be measured and fitted together. Before fixing anything over the pavement in Somerset, we check what clearance the highway or roads authority expects and whether it needs a licence.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Somerset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Somerset, including Bath, Bridgwater, Frome, Glastonbury.
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.
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.
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.
