Sign Face Replacement Hyde

Freshening up a Hyde frontage

Independent shops and food businesses around Hyde Market and the town centre streets often have lightboxes that have been up for many years. Printed colours fade, acrylic yellows and cracks appear around the fixing points. Trade suppliers and manufacturers have signs above trade counters and offices that fade the same way.

When the box and lighting are sound, a new face makes the sign look new at a fraction of the work. It is also the quickest way to put your name on a unit with an existing sign. Our sign face replacement Manchester page explains more.

Measuring your sign

Hyde is roughly 25 to 30 minutes from our office via the M60 and M67, depending on traffic. Many signs can be measured from photos with a tape measure in shot. High or projecting signs are better measured on site.

Our process

What you get

• New lightbox and projecting sign faces
• New vinyl for flat fascias
• Artwork created or updated
• Fitting at height
• Old faces removed

Trade counters and market-side shops

Trade counters need their name and what they sell to be readable from the road and the car park. Over time, faded faces lose that. A new face with strong contrast and large lettering fixes it. We keep the essentials big and clear, and leave smaller detail such as brand logos and opening hours to the doors and windows.

Shops near the market often have a projecting sign as well as the fascia. These are double-sided, and the face that catches the sun fades first. We replace both faces together so they match, and check the bracket while we have the sign down.

For signs within reach of the pavement, polycarbonate faces are worth choosing. They resist knocks far better than acrylic and keep their shape on a busy street.

We replace faces and vinyl only. If tubes or LEDs have failed, a qualified electrician needs to fix them first. For new signs, see illuminated signs or fascia signs, and shop signs Hyde for local frontages.

Flat fascias without lighting can often be refreshed with new vinyl over a cleaned panel, which is quick and needs no new fixings in the wall.

Photos that help

• The whole sign, taken straight on
• A close-up of the edge or trim
• A tape measure across the face
• Your logo files if you have them

When we fit, we also clean inside the box. Years of dust and insects inside a lightbox make even a new face look dull when lit, so a quick clean while it is open makes a visible difference.
