Romford typically has town centre planning policies that distinguish between primary shopping frontage and secondary streets. Signage rules vary accordingly, and we design within the relevant framework.

Retail park vs high street

Do you carry out signage audits?

What is DDA-compliant signage?
DDA (now Equality Act 2010) compliant signage includes tactile lettering, Grade 2 braille, high-contrast colours, and appropriate mounting heights for accessibility.
How often should safety signs be replaced?
Safety signs should be replaced when damaged, faded, or no longer legible. Photoluminescent signs should be tested annually and typically last 10+ years in indoor environments.
Can you provide fire evacuation plans?
Yes — we produce bespoke fire evacuation plans based on your building layout, including photoluminescent versions for emergency visibility. We update plans when buildings are modified.
How often should safety signs be replaced?
Safety signs should be replaced when damaged, faded, or no longer compliant with current standards. Typical photoluminescent fire safety signs have a service life of 7-10 years before reduced charging affects performance.
Are old fire safety signs still compliant?
Pre-2011 signs using older pictograms may not be compliant with current BS EN ISO 7010 standards. We can audit existing signage to identify non-compliant items needing replacement.
What size should safety signs be?
Safety sign size is determined by viewing distance — typically a minimum of 1mm of sign per metre of viewing distance. Specific applications have minimum size requirements set by relevant standards.
Which council handles signage planning permission in Romford?
Signage planning applications in Romford are handled by the local district council in Essex. Complete Signs manages the full application process on your behalf, including preparing drawings, submitting forms, and liaising with planning officers.
