    Who we are

    Signage designed for the building

    Proportion, materials, colour and illumination, resolved before manufacture

    A shopfront sign carries the brand and often has to sit within a listed or conservation-area frontage. We design to the correct proportion for the building, match colour references accurately, specify materials for a lasting finish, and coordinate the installation programme with landlord and consent requirements. Drawn, made and fitted by one team.

    What we deliver

    What we make and install

    Fascia Signs

    Flat, tray and built-up fascia panels, fabricated to the correct proportion for the building and finished in specified brand colours.

    Built-Up Letters

    Individual 3D letters in acrylic, aluminium or stainless steel, fabricated to depth and fixed square against the fascia.

    Illuminated Signs

    Halo-lit, face-lit and LED-illuminated fascias and letters, engineered for even light output in a commercial trading environment.

    Window & Door Graphics

    Cut vinyl, printed film and etched frosting for windows and entrances, applied by our own team for clean alignment.

    Projecting & Hanging Signs

    Blade, box and traditional hanging signs, sized and fixed to satisfy landlord specification and local advertisement consent.

    Survey, Manufacture & Installation

    Site survey, fabrication in our London workshop, and installation by our own team, coordinated as one project.
    How we work

    How we deliver a shopfront signage project

    01

    Discover

    Site visit and measurement of the frontage, review of the specification and any conservation or landlord considerations, and confirmation of budget and target programme.
    02

    Design

    Scale visuals of the sign against the building, showing accurate proportion, materials, colour and illumination method, for review and approval before manufacture.
    03

    Approve

    Preparation of drawings for landlord sign-off and, where required, local authority advertisement consent. We handle the documentation; the decision rests with the authority or landlord.
    04

    Build

    Manufacture in our London workshop by the team that produced the specification. Materials, finish and lighting components selected for the commercial life of the sign.
    05

    Install

    Installation by our own team, coordinated with trading hours or a live fit-out programme. All work carried out under our public liability and CDM cover.
    06

    Support

    Warranty on manufacture and installation. Aftercare, maintenance and repair are handled by us directly, without third-party involvement.
    Why retailers choose Bellenden

    Why clients choose Bellenden

    In-house design, manufacture and installation. Design, fabrication and installation of your shopfront signage happen inside our own operation. Drawings are produced by the people who will make the sign, the sign is made in our London workshop, and installation is carried out by the same team that fabricated it. Nothing is subcontracted between the initial survey and completion.
    Accurate colour matching. Brand colour on a shopfront needs to hold true from artwork to installed panel. We work to Pantone reference, supplied swatches or existing brand guidelines, and check the match against those references at manufacture stage before installation. What is fitted to the frontage matches what was signed off at design.
    Listed and conservation-area experience. London shopfronts often sit within conservation areas or on listed buildings, which imposes constraints on materials, illumination, projection and lettering style. We prepare drawings and specifications aligned to those constraints and to the local authority's advertisement consent requirements, so the submission goes in with the correct supporting information.
    Materials and illumination for a trading environment. Materials and illumination components are specified for a commercial trading environment: acrylic and aluminium faces to the correct thickness, powder coating suited to exterior exposure, LED modules and drivers selected for continuous use. Specification is driven by the operating life of the sign on site.
    Planning and landlord approval support. Landlord approval, and in many cases local authority advertisement consent, form part of most shopfront projects. We prepare the drawings, elevations and supporting documentation for both submissions alongside the design, so the application is complete when submitted. The final decision rests with the landlord or the authority.
    One point of responsibility throughout the project. One company holds responsibility from the first site survey through manufacture, installation and post-installation support. The same organisation you commission is the one that surveys the frontage, produces the drawings, fabricates the sign, installs it on site, and returns for warranty work or aftercare.

    Questions

    Frequently asked

    Cost depends on size, materials, illumination method and site access. A single fascia panel is a different project from a fully illuminated built-up letter installation. Send the frontage dimensions and specification and we will respond with an itemised quote.
    Programme depends on specification and whether consent is required. Straightforward fascia work runs faster than illuminated built-up letters that need planning consent. We confirm a programme at quotation stage and hold to it.
    Shopfront signs frequently require landlord approval and, in conservation areas or on listed buildings, local authority advertisement consent. We prepare the drawings and documentation for both. The final decision rests with the authority or landlord.
    Yes. We work to Pantone reference, supplied colour swatches or existing brand guidelines. Colour is checked at fabrication stage against the reference before installation, so what is fitted matches what was approved.
    Yes. All fabrication takes place in our London workshop and installation is carried out by our own team. There is no subcontracted stage between the initial survey and completion of the installation.
    Most of our work is within Greater London, where our workshop and installation team are based. We do accept commissions further afield, particularly multi-site rollouts. Contact us with the location and specification.
    How we stand behind the work

    One company. One point of responsibility.

    You deal with one company from the initial site survey through to installation and aftercare. The team that designed and manufactured your sign is the team that installs it, and the team you contact if anything requires attention afterwards.
    If landlord or local authority feedback requires design amendments, we revise the drawings and resubmit as part of the project.
    If the installation programme needs to work around trading hours or a live fit-out, we coordinate the fit accordingly.
    If any element requires attention after handover, we return and address it directly.
    Next step

    Tell us about your shopfront

    Share the frontage dimensions, brand reference and any known landlord or advertisement consent requirements. We will respond with an itemised quote, an outline programme and, where the specification would benefit from discussion, a call.
