Post and Panel Sign Cost Guide
Practical guidance from the team that surveys, makes and installs commercial signage. If you have a live project, we can help you choose the right route.
A post and panel sign is often the most practical option where there is no suitable wall or building to fix to, such as a car park entrance, a set-back office, or a development still under construction. Because the sign is entirely self-supporting, ground conditions and structural engineering play a bigger role in the cost than the panel itself usually does. This guide covers what drives the price and where this format works better than a wall-mounted or totem alternative. We survey ground conditions and install post and panel signage on sites throughout Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and London.

Panel size and material (aluminium composite versus a printed board) affect the base cost, but ground conditions often matter more: a post set into concrete foundations costs more to install than one on an existing hard-standing, and site access for digging equipment can add further cost on constrained sites.

Common questions
Yes, this is common for signs read from two directions, such as at a site entrance or junction.
This depends on panel size and local ground conditions and wind loading, which is why we survey the exact location before quoting.
It is possible but involves breaking out and reinstating the foundation, so it is worth confirming the final position carefully at the outset.
Yes, with a lighter-duty foundation option, this format works well for developments or events with a defined end date.
Aluminium composite panel is common for its durability and flat finish, though printed correx or foamex suits shorter-term needs.
