Smaller Loughton commercial areas often have community signage guidelines or business-association standards. We can work within voluntary codes as well as planning regulations.

Aluminium Composite & Tray Construction
Most modern fascia signs are built from aluminium composite material (ACM) — a sandwich panel with two aluminium skins bonded to a polyethylene core. ACM is lightweight, dimensionally stable, and easy to fabricate. Loughton projects are usually scoped at the site visit by an Docklands Office surveyor, then estimated, designed and built in-house before installation by our own team.
- 3mm or 4mm ACM for fascia panels
- Folded aluminium tray construction for depth
- Routed and folded for built-up letters
- Powder-coated or vinyl-wrapped finish
- Concealed fixings for clean appearance
