What makes the difference?
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
Do you need consent in Balham?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to London Borough of Wandsworth. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
