Sign Removal Leigh

Three kinds of Leigh building

The town centre, around Spinning Gate and the main shopping streets, has traditional shopfronts and newer units, many with fascias that have been replaced more than once. Leigh Spinners Mill, a large former cotton mill now let to smaller businesses and creative tenants, has signs fixed to old brick and stone, often on brackets or boards near individual entrances. Along the A580 are bigger logistics and trade buildings with large panels on cladding.

Old mill brickwork in particular needs care: fixings pulled out roughly can take chunks of brick or mortar with them. The general service is set out on the sign removal Manchester page.

Arranging a look at the sign

Leigh is roughly 35 to 45 minutes from our office along the A580, depending on traffic. Window lettering and small boards can usually be priced from photos. Anything high up, lit, projecting or fixed to old masonry is worth seeing in person first, and we can combine several units at the mill in one visit.

What we do on the day

Included

• Fascia boards, trays, letters and hanging signs removed
• Brackets taken out or left in place on request
• Window vinyl and film scraped off
• Access equipment for high signs
• Disposal of everything removed
• A record of the wall’s condition afterwards

Old brickwork, plugs and making good

Signs on older buildings were often fixed with whatever was to hand at the time: large screws into timber plugs, expanding bolts, sometimes fixings straight into the mortar joints. Pulling these out with force can crack brick faces. We cut, unscrew or drill them out as needed, so the wall is left with clean holes rather than broken brick.

What you do with those holes afterwards depends on what comes next. If a new sign is going in the same place, the old holes may be reused or sit behind it. If the wall is staying bare, they will need filling or pointing, which a builder can do, and we tell you which holes are where.

For new tenants, we can remove the previous sign and fit yours on the same visit using our shop signs and fascia signs services. The local detail is on shop signs Leigh.
