Sign Removal Heywood

Warehouse signs and shop fascias

On Heywood Distribution Park, signs are big and high: long panels or individual letters fixed to profiled metal cladding above loading doors and offices, plus totems at the gate. In the town centre, shops and takeaways have smaller fascias, often with a lightbox, fixed to older brick buildings.

Both need the right equipment and the right method for what the sign is fixed to. Our sign removal Manchester page sets out the service in general.

Survey and quote

Heywood is roughly 25 to 30 minutes from our office via the M60 and M66 or through Middleton, depending on traffic. Small shop signs can often be priced from photos. Warehouse signs need a visit, so we can check heights, fixings, ground conditions and how the yard is used, before planning access equipment.

How the removal works

What you get

• Panels, letters and lightboxes removed
• Totem faces taken out or the whole totem removed
• Window lettering and film stripped
• Access equipment for high signs
• All waste removed
• Photos of the building once clear

Working safely in a busy yard

Distribution sites rarely stop. Lorries and vans move in and out, and forklifts may be working nearby. Before we start, we agree with the site manager where access equipment will stand, how that area is fenced off and how traffic will be routed around it. Where it is quieter at certain times, we book the work for those hours, including evenings and weekends.

Letters and panels on cladding are fixed through the sheet. We remove each fixing so the cladding is not torn and leave the holes visible, so the landlord knows what needs sealing. Totem faces can be taken out without removing the structure if the next tenant wants to reuse it.

Incoming tenants can have the old sign removed and the new one fitted in one job, using our shop signs and fascia signs services. The shop signs Heywood page covers new signs locally.

Useful to have ready

• Photos of each sign and the yard around it
• The site’s contractor rules or induction requirements
• Details of who isolates the power for lit signs
• What the landlord expects the building to look like afterwards

Town centre jobs are smaller but need just as much care. Takeaway lightboxes are heavier than they look and are wired in, so the supply must be isolated first. Fascia boards on older buildings may be soft behind the sign, so we take the sign off gently and show you what condition the board is in before anyone fits the next one.
