Installation

Signs are heavy, often high up and usually fixed to buildings that are still in use. Installing them safely takes trained people, the right access equipment and proper planning. Our own installation teams handle everything from a single door sign to large totems, built up letters and full building schemes.

We are based in Bolton, Greater Manchester, and install across Manchester, the North West and the whole of the UK.

What we install

  • Fascia signs, built up letters and projecting signs
  • Totems, monoliths and post mounted signs, including foundations
  • Interior, wayfinding and tactile signage schemes
  • Window and wall graphics
  • Hoardings
  • Digital screens and housings

Qualified teams

Our installers hold CSCS cards and IPAF and PASMA certification for working at height, our site management holds SMSTS, and our teams are trained and licensed in CAT and Genny cable detection for any work that breaks ground.

Principal Contractor

We are accredited as a Principal Contractor with SafeContractor and work to our ISO 45001 certified health and safety management system. Every job has its own Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), agreed before we arrive on site.

Access and lifting

We run our own PASMA towers and hire in MEWPs and cranes sized to the job, so the right equipment is always used, from a cherry picker on a high street fascia to a crane for a 10m totem.

Fixings and foundations that last

We CAT scan before excavating for foundations, and pull test fixings where the substrate needs it, so signs go in safely and stay there in all weathers.

Any hour, any day

Many sites can’t close for signage work. No hours are off limits: we install early mornings, evenings, overnight and at weekends, whenever it causes the least disruption to your business, your customers or the public.

One company, start to finish

Installation is one part of a single service. We also handle design, manufacture and maintenance, so there is one point of contact and one company responsible from the first survey to the finished sign and beyond.
