Sign Removal Prestwich

Prestwich frontages

Prestwich village sits along Bury New Road, with independent hospitality, retail and practices in older parades and around the Longfield Centre. Many frontages have timber fascias, traditional hanging signs on brackets and windows covered in lettering from previous tenants. Signs are often fixed over earlier signs, so there can be more behind a fascia than it first appears.

Taking these down with care keeps the frontage in good condition for whoever comes next. Our sign removal Manchester page describes the general service.

Busy pavements and hanging signs

Bury New Road is a busy main road with bus stops and narrow stretches of pavement. Working safely means fencing off the area below the sign, keeping a route open for pedestrians where we can, and choosing a quieter time for larger signs, such as early morning or a weekend.

Hanging signs on iron brackets are common on Prestwich shopfronts, and many new tenants want to reuse the bracket. If it is sound, we take the old sign off and leave the bracket in place, checking its fixings into the wall. If it is loose or rusted, we remove it and show you the brickwork.

Window lettering builds up over years of different tenants. We soften old vinyl, scrape it off with blades made for glass and clean off the adhesive, so the new tenant starts with clear windows.

New tenant? We can take the old sign down and fit yours in one job using our shop signs and fascia signs services. The shop signs Prestwich page covers new signs locally.

Behind many Prestwich signs is a timber fascia board that several businesses have used before. Once the sign is off, we show you its condition. A sound board can take the next sign straight away; a soft or split one is worth replacing first, so the new sign has something solid to fix into.

Lightboxes on restaurants and takeaways are wired in and heavier than they look. Your electrician isolates the supply, then we remove the face, unfix the box and lower it under control.
