Lancashire is a county of stone terraces in the mill towns, seaside boarding houses and rural farmhouses. That is exactly the kind of building stock a shopfront fascia has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
We build fascias & signboards as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Lancashire address.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Fascias & Signboards in Lancashire — common questions
What is the cornice for?
It throws water off the face of the fascia. Remove it and the signboard gets a permanent wet stripe. On a period frontage it is also the element that ties the shopfront to the building above.
What timber for a painted fascia?
Accoya. It holds paint far longer than softwood because it barely moves with humidity, and paint failure on a fascia is almost always the substrate moving underneath it.
How is the fascia ventilated?
We leave a drained and ventilated cavity behind the board so any moisture that gets past the front face can dry. Sealing a fascia tight to the wall traps water against it.
How deep should a fascia be?
Deep enough that the signwriting has margin above and below — typically 350 to 500mm on a standard frontage. A shallow fascia forces cramped lettering and is the most common reason a new shopfront looks wrong.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
