Projecting signs in Tyne and Wear
Bracket fixings depend on the wall, so we check the brick, stone or render on your Tyne and Wear premises at the outset.
Owners across the North East can add a projecting sign to a fascia order, so the Tyne and Wear frontage can be measured and fitted together. Upper-floor businesses in the North East can use a projecting sign to show customers which Tyne and Wear door leads to them.

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 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.
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.
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.
