Common questions
Do you cover all of County Durham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.
Who is responsible if a loose sign falls?
Usually the business or landlord that owns or controls the sign, and your lease should say which. In England, the 2007 Regulations require sign structures to be kept in a condition that does not endanger the public. Keep people clear until it is secured.
Can you replace only the letters that have failed?
Yes, in many cases a single built-up letter or LED module can be replaced. Older letters may be hard to match in colour and depth, particularly once the rest have faded. We will tell you if the new part is likely to stand out.
Do I need advertisement consent to repair my sign?
Usually not, if the repair keeps the same size, position and lighting. Changing the sign or adding illumination can need consent under the 2007 Regulations in England, especially in conservation areas, and the rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
