From high street boutiques to independent market stalls, we design and install shop signs across Manchester that reflect your brand and bring customers through the door.
Your shop sign in Manchester is the first thing a potential customer sees. Before they’ve read a single review, walked through your door or spoken to a member of staff — your sign has already told them something about your business. Make sure what it says is the right thing.
Signs Company Manchester has been helping retailers, restaurants, salons, gyms and independent businesses create impactful shop front signage for over 20 years. We work with businesses on every type of Manchester high street — from the Northern Quarter and Didsbury Village to Trafford Retail Park and the Arndale — and we know what works in each environment.
We offer a comprehensive shop sign service covering design, manufacture, planning permission support and professional installation. Whether you need a simple vinyl banner over your door or a full illuminated fascia sign with 3D lettering, we handle it all from our Manchester base.
We offer a wide variety of styles, materials and finishes to suit every budget and brand.
Flat fascia signs covering your shop’s name panel. Available in aluminium composite, foamex, painted MDF or ACM panels — with or without illumination.
Add LED illumination to your fascia panel for maximum visibility day and night. Lightboxes, backlit letters and halo-lit panels available.
Premium three-dimensional letters mounted direct to your fascia or wall. Available in brushed aluminium, gloss acrylic or painted finishes — flat or illuminated.
Vinyl lettering, logo decals and decorative window graphics that complement your fascia sign and make the most of your window space.
Traditional wooden or modern aluminium hanging signs mounted perpendicular to your shop front — perfect for catching pedestrian attention from both directions.
Rebranding your entire shop front? We offer complete signage packages covering fascia, windows, door graphics, a-boards and more at a bundled price.
We visit your premises, measure up, assess your fascia and advise on the most effective signage solution before you commit to anything.
Everything from initial concept and planning permission through to manufacture and fitting is handled by our own team — no subcontractors.
We know Manchester’s planning requirements, conservation area restrictions and council guidelines inside out — which means fewer delays and smoother installs.
We give you a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. No hidden charges for installation, design or site visits.
Most shop sign installations are completed within 2–3 weeks from order confirmation. Faster options available for time-sensitive openings.
Signs take punishment over the years. We offer maintenance contracts and repair services to keep your shop sign looking its best long-term.
From first enquiry to final installation — here’s what to expect when you work with us.
Call us or fill in our contact form. Tell us about your business, your premises and what you’re hoping to achieve — we’ll take it from there.
We visit your shop front, take precise measurements and assess the building structure, existing fixings and fascia condition.
Our designers create your sign artwork based on your brand guidelines. Where planning permission is required, we manage the application process for you.
Your sign is built in our Manchester workshop using quality materials and components — tested before leaving the premises.
Our installation crew arrives on the agreed date, fits your sign to a professional standard and removes all waste. Your shop is ready to trade.
Most external shop signs require Advertisement Consent from Manchester City Council. Signs in conservation areas or on listed buildings have additional requirements. We navigate this for you.
A straightforward flat fascia sign typically takes 10–14 days from sign-off to installation. Illuminated signs or those requiring planning permission take 3–6 weeks.
A basic vinyl-on-panel fascia sign starts from around £200 installed. Illuminated 3D letter installations for larger premises can range from £1,500–£8,000+. We provide a detailed quote once we’ve surveyed your site.
Absolutely. We work from your brand guidelines or existing artwork and match your Pantone or RAL colours precisely throughout every element of your sign.
Yes — we have extensive experience working in Manchester’s conservation areas including the Northern Quarter, Castlefield and Piccadilly. We know what designs get planning approval.
