Shop Signs Hyde

Being noticed on Hyde’s shopping streets

Footfall in Hyde gathers around the market and the Clarendon Square shopping centre, and people walking between them make quick decisions. A fascia needs a name readable from across the road and a short line saying what you do.

Food and drink businesses also need signs that work after dark, which might mean built-up letters with halo lighting, trough lights over the fascia or an illuminated projecting box. Manufacturers and trade suppliers have a different need: a sign visible from the road or yard entrance so drivers and couriers find the right door. Signs may need advertisement consent from the council, especially when illuminated or in a conservation area, and we check this with you before anything is made. Your landlord’s permission may also be needed.

The sign types and materials we use are described on our shop signs Manchester page.

Surveying and fitting at your Hyde premises

Every sign job starts with a visit. We measure the fascia and window areas, look at what sits behind the existing sign, check whether the wall, render or timber will hold fixings, and note where power can reach any lighting. We also look at access, whether a ladder is enough or a tower is needed, and where a van can park. We travel out from M8, a run of 25 to 30 minutes or so via the M60 and M67 when traffic is kind. Design and artwork approval then happen by email and WhatsApp, the sign is made through our production network, and our fitters come back to install it.

From survey to fitted sign

What your fixed quote covers

• A site survey with measurements and photographs
• Design work and a mock-up on your own shopfront photo
• The sign made to the agreed size, colours and finish
• Removal and disposal of the old sign where agreed
• Fitting with fixings suited to your wall or fascia board
• Photos of the finished job and simple cleaning notes

What we check first on a Hyde shopfront

• What is behind the old fascia. Older shops often hide rotten timber or several layers of earlier signs. We open up a corner where possible.
• The height and line of the street. A fascia that sits well with the units on either side looks deliberate.
• Glass you are not using. Windows can carry opening hours, a phone number and a list of services. Salons, clinics and care offices often want frosted vinyl for privacy at desk height.
• Space on the pavement. A-boards help shops set back from the main flow, but pavement boards may need permission too, so we raise it before you order one.

For the main board itself, see our fascia signs, and for glass, our window graphics service.
