Outdoor sign installation covers banners, billboards, boards and building signs. We plan access and fixing with engineering input where required. A site survey may be needed before a formal quotation for outdoor sign installation.
Outdoor sign installation covers fitting signs to building exteriors, boundary walls, fences, poles and free-standing structures. The signs must stand up to wind, rain, sun and possible tampering, and many are installed at height or near public walkways.
Good outdoor installation uses fixings and brackets suited to the sign’s weight and wind load, seals penetrations against water, and follows safe work at height practice. Indoor work focuses on neat finishing. Outdoor work also needs weather planning, access equipment, and may need a site survey and engineering input where required before a formal quotation.

Supplying measurements
Send photos of each location and the wall or structure the sign will fix to. Note the approximate mounting height and any obstacles.
Artwork requirements
The approved proof shows the sign's position and size on the building. If signs are supplied by others, share drawings and weights.
Survey and installation
Work at height, structures and lit signs may need a site survey before a formal quotation. Landlord, centre or municipal approval may also be needed before installation.
Maintenance
Inspect outdoor fixings after storms and periodically for corrosion. Keep the area around signs clear of plant growth.
Frequently asked questions
Can installation go ahead in rain?
Some work can, but adhesives, sealants and work at height need dry conditions, so dates may move.
Do I need approval from my landlord?
Many landlords and centres require approval of outdoor signage. Check before installation.
Do you handle the electrical connection?
Lit signs are connected by a qualified electrician, which we can arrange or coordinate with yours.
