Your external signage is often the very first thing a customer sees, so it needs to work hard for your business. A great sign makes your building easy to find, shows people what you do and gives them confidence before they even walk through the door. At FASTSIGNS® Manchester, we create external signage that doesn’t just look good on installation day. It’s designed to last, to stay visible and to represent your brand properly.
We’ve spent years helping businesses across Greater Manchester transform the front of their buildings with clear, well-made and reliable signage. Whether you need a full shopfront fascia, built-up letters, a monolith sign or simple exterior panels, our team guide you through the whole process so you always know exactly what you’re getting.

-
What types of external signage can you make?
Pretty much anything you need. Shopfront fascias, illuminated letters, flat panels, projecting signs, monoliths, wayfinding and more. If it’s outside, we can build it. -
How long will my sign last?
External signage is made using weather-resistant materials such as aluminium, dibond, acrylic and powder-coated metals. Your sign is built to handle rain, UV light and day-to-day wear. -
Do I need planning permission?
For some external signs, yes. It depends on size, lighting and placement. If permission is needed, we’ll guide you through it and help with the paperwork. -
Can you match my brand colours exactly?
Yes. We follow your brand guidelines and use colour-accurate print and manufacturing methods to keep everything consistent. -
How long does installation take?
Most external signs can be installed in a few hours. Larger or more complex signs may take a full day or slightly longer depending on access. -
Can you replace my old sign?
Yes. We can remove your old signage and either refurbish parts of it or provide a new system that matches your updated look.
