Why Choose Complete Signs for Wooden Signs in Melksham?
Many Melksham streetscapes are protected, listed or subject to Article 4 directions. Our Bournemouth Office team has decades of experience specifying wooden signs that pass planning first time — from material choice and projection through to fixing detail.
Many of our Melksham heritage projects begin with a survey of what was there before. Where evidence remains of original signwork, we replicate, restore, or reinterpret it so the new sign feels rooted in the building's history. Our Bournemouth Office team covers Melksham and the wider Wiltshire market town network as part of our day-to-day route.

Wiltshire Council
Wiltshire
Working on wooden signs in Melksham means coordinating with Wiltshire Council where consent is needed, and routing our install vans via M4 / A303 / A36. The SN / SP / BA postcodes postcode districts cover the commercial streets, business parks and high-street parades where most of our local installs take place.
Independent retail focus
Market towns like Melksham often have a higher proportion of independent retailers than chains. Distinctive, well-designed signage matters even more in this context — it's how you stand apart from neighbouring shops with the same problem. Out-of-hours installs in Melksham are routinely handled by the Bournemouth Office team — useful for market town sites that can't close during trading hours.
Tourist trade
Many Melksham-area businesses serve a mix of locals and visitors. Signage that works for both — clear navigation for newcomers, character for repeat trade — is something we plan for from the design stage.
Community standards
Smaller Melksham commercial areas often have community signage guidelines or business-association standards. We can work within voluntary codes as well as planning regulations.

What's Included with Wooden Signs in Melksham
Cast Metal Specifications
Our cast signage uses traditional sand-casting techniques for bronze, brass, and aluminium pieces. Each casting is hand-finished to remove flash, polish or patinate the surface, and apply protective coatings. Working in Melksham regularly means our Bournemouth Office surveyors already know the typical fascia depths, planning officers and listed-building constraints across this part of Wiltshire.
- Sand-cast bronze and brass for premium plaques
- Cast aluminium for larger architectural pieces
- Hand-chased lettering for crisp definition
- Patinated or polished finishes available
- Stainless steel fixings for longevity
