If part of your Essex sign has gone dark, the fault is often a driver or single module, not the whole sign.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

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.

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.

Can a fluorescent lightbox be converted to LED?

Usually yes, by replacing the tubes and control gear with LED modules and a driver. The existing box and face stay in place. Check first whether the sign has consent as an illuminated sign, because brighter lighting can raise a consent question.
