Sign Makers Manchester
We are a sign maker in Manchester, not a reseller. Design, print, fabrication and fitting all happen through our own unit on Bury New Road, which is why we can quote a fixed price up front and tell you the day it goes up. We have been making signs under this name since 2003.
Send a photo of your shopfront with rough measurements and you’ll get a fixed price, not a “from” price — survey, design, manufacture and fitting by the same team.

Most of our work is shop fronts and commercial premises across Greater Manchester: fascia panels and tray signs, built-up letters, illuminated signage, window graphics, wayfinding inside the building, and the vehicle graphics that usually get ordered alongside them. Below is what we make, what it costs, and a wall of work we have actually fitted.
What we make
Every sign type below is designed, produced and installed by the same team. If your job spans several of them — a fascia, matching window vinyl and two vans — it stays one job, one quote and one fitting date.
- Shop and commercial signs — fascia panels, tray signs and full shopfront fit-outs
- Fascia signs — flat panel, tray and 3D built-up letters above the entrance
- Illuminated signs — LED and halo-lit, for trade that carries on after dark
- Window graphics — cut vinyl, frosted manifestation and full printed wraps
- Safety and statutory signs — fire, first aid and site compliance signage
- Van and vehicle graphics — lettering, printed panels and full wraps
- A-boards and pavement signs, banners and roller banners for events and promotions
What signs cost in Manchester
Off-the-shelf items are priced on the website and you can buy them today. Anything made to fit a building is quoted after we have seen it, because a fascia on a listed frontage and a fascia on a modern unit are not the same job and pretending otherwise wastes everyone’s time.
- A-board pavement signs — from £30.24
- PVC banners — from £33.98
- Mesh banners for scaffold and fencing — from £38.16
- Roller banners — from £60.48
- Rigid board signs — from £19.34
- Magnetic vehicle signs — from £63.28
- Foam board signs — from £148.92
- Fascias, built-up letters and illuminated signs — quoted after a site visit, fixed before anything is made
How a sign job runs
Four steps, and you know the price before the second one.
- Tell us what you need. A photo of the frontage and a rough width is enough to start. We will tell you what suits the building and what it will cost.
- Design proof. You see your sign on your own shopfront before anything is cut, printed or fabricated. Changes at this stage cost nothing.
- Made in our unit. Printing, cutting and fabrication in-house, so the timeline is ours to control rather than a supplier’s.
- Fitted. We install across Greater Manchester. Most single shopfronts are fitted in a morning.
Work we have fitted
Takeaways, convenience stores, travel agents, tyre garages, barbers and building firms. The photographs on this page are our own jobs, taken on site after fitting — not stock images and not someone else’s portfolio.
Recent work includes the fascia and window graphics for Welcome News, the full shopfront for Durani Foods, fascia and projecting signs for BSC Tyres, the Take A Taste frontage, and printed menu boards fitted above the counter for local takeaways. We also printed the crest work for Wythenshawe FC, which tells you the print side is up to more than leaflets.
Areas we cover
Manchester city centre, Salford, Prestwich, Cheetham Hill, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton, Stockport, Trafford and the surrounding towns. We are on Bury New Road, so most of Greater Manchester is inside a half-hour van run. Further out is usually still fine — ask.
Why use us rather than a national chain
Franchise sign shops subcontract the making. We do not: the same people who quote your sign print it, fabricate it and fit it. That is the difference you feel when something needs changing at the proof stage, or when a panel needs re-fitting a year later.
Twenty-three years trading, our own production unit, and a signed-off price before manufacture starts. No day rates that grow, no “from” prices that double once someone has measured up.
Sign makers in Manchester — frequently asked questions
How much does a shop sign cost in Manchester?
A simple flat panel fascia on a standard unit usually lands in the low hundreds; illuminated and built-up letter signs cost more because of the fabrication and the electrics. We quote fixed after seeing a photo and the measurements, and that price does not move once agreed.
Do you make the signs yourselves or subcontract?
We make them. Printing, cutting, fabrication and fitting are all done by our own team from our unit on Bury New Road in Manchester.
Do I need to supply artwork?
No. Send your logo, or nothing at all, and we will design it and mock it onto a photo of your own shopfront before anything is made. Changes at proof stage are free.
Do you fit the signs, or is it supply only?
We fit across Greater Manchester. Supply-only is fine too if you have your own fitter — say so at quote stage and we will price it that way.
How long does a shop sign take?
From approved proof, a straightforward fascia is usually a few days. Illuminated signs and anything needing fabrication take longer. We give you a date at quote stage rather than after you have paid.
Do you do planning applications or landlord consent?
We can tell you when advertisement consent is likely to be needed — illuminated signs and projecting signs often are — and we supply the drawings and specifications you need for the application. Submitting it stays with you or your agent.
