Tray Signs
Premium fabricated tray signs with depth and finish.
A tray sign is a fabricated metal or acrylic ‘tray’ that gives your fascia genuine depth and a high-end, three-dimensional finish — far more premium than a flat printed panel. Ideal for illuminated builds, the tray houses the lighting neatly and delivers an even, professional glow. We fabricate tray signs in-house for a flawless edge and a clean return.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a shop sign cost?
Costs depend on size, materials and whether the sign is illuminated. A simple flat fascia starts at a few hundred pounds, while large illuminated built-up letter signs cost more. We provide a free, no-obligation quote with a fixed price before any work begins.
Do I need planning permission for a shop sign?
Many signs fall under permitted development, but illuminated signs, listed buildings and conservation areas often need consent. We’ll advise on what your project is likely to require as part of the survey — though final approval always rests with your local authority.
How long does a sign take to make and install?
Most projects are designed, manufactured and installed within 1–3 weeks depending on complexity and survey access. We’ll confirm a clear timeline with your quote.
What’s the difference between built-up and flat-cut letters?
Flat-cut letters are cut from a single sheet and sit flat; built-up letters are individually fabricated with depth and returns, and can be illuminated. Built-up letters give a far more premium, three-dimensional finish.
Are illuminated signs expensive to run?
Modern LED illumination uses very little electricity — typically a fraction of old neon or fluorescent — so running costs are low while giving you a strong day-and-night presence.
Do you handle design, manufacture and installation?
Yes — we design, manufacture and install every sign in-house. You deal with one team from first sketch to final fixing, which keeps quality high and the process simple.
