Sign maintenance and repairs
Lamp and driver replacement, cleaning, refacing, panel changes and reactive repairs, across single sites and managed portfolios. See our guide for more detail.
Signage is an asset, not a purchase
An illuminated sign is a fixed electrical installation with a maintenance obligation, and a half lit fascia does more damage to a business than no sign at all. Most of what we attend is an LED driver rather than the LEDs themselves.
For portfolios, the useful arrangement is a scheduled check across sites plus a reactive service for damage, rather than treating every fault as a new project with a new quotation.
Any work on the power supply is carried out to the standards set by NICEIC, the electrical contracting accreditation body.
Worth knowing
LED drivers typically fail long before the LEDs do, and a driver that has failed once will often take others with it as they age. Where we hold the original specification on file a replacement is a same visit fix; where we do not, the first visit is usually diagnosis.
What we need to quote
- What the sign is and roughly when it was installed
- What has gone wrong, with a photograph if possible
- How many sites, if this is a portfolio
- Access arrangements and any out of hours requirement
What we handle
Illumination faults
LED, driver and transformer replacement, and isolator faults.
Refacing
New face or panel into an existing tray or case after a rebrand.
Cleaning
Fascia and totem cleaning, particularly on roadside and coastal positions.
Damage and vandalism
Reactive repair, usually within the week.
Scheduled checks
Portfolio wide inspection with a condition report.
Common questions
Why has my illuminated sign stopped working?
Most often the LED driver rather than the LEDs themselves. A driver that has failed once will often take others with it as they age.
Can you maintain signs you did not make?
Yes. Where we hold the original specification a replacement is usually a same visit fix; where we do not, the first visit is normally diagnosis.
Do you offer scheduled maintenance across a portfolio?
Yes, portfolio wide inspection with a condition report, plus reactive repair for damage and vandalism, usually within the week.
Something not working?
Send a photograph and the address. Most illumination faults are diagnosed from the photograph.
