Signage, banner and mesh installation
We install and take down advertising mesh, large-format banners, built-up letters and lightboxes on façades that cannot be reached from the ground.
Scope of work
- Installing and removing mesh banners on façades and site scaffolding
- Large-format banners with tensioning systems
- Fitting built-up letters and lightboxes to existing structures
- Changing artwork between successive campaigns
- Checking fixings after high winds
Worth knowing
Advertising permits and the building owner’s consent are the responsibility of the client or the agency.
With very large mesh banners, wind is the deciding factor: installation is scheduled around the forecast and may be postponed.
How the job runs
-
Technical data
We receive the dimensions, material weight and proposed fixing system.
-
Checking the substrate
We set the fixing points on the façade or the existing structure.
-
Install on the agreed day
We work with the area below cordoned off, usually early in the morning.
-
Handover photos
We send photos for the agency or the end client at the end.
Rope access, scaffold or crane?
We choose the method after the site visit. If a scaffold or a MEWP suits your job better, the quote will say so.
| Criterion | Rope access | Scaffold | Crane / MEWP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobilisation time | hours, once the plan is approved | days to erect and strike | depends on plant and permits |
| Reach into tight areas | good: interiors, façades, steelwork | limited by building geometry | limited by boom reach |
| Ground footprint | minimal, exclusion zone only | for the whole job | outriggers and a cordon |
| Impact on operations | low, work runs section by section | high around the scaffold | medium, with traffic restrictions |
What helps us quote
- Dimensions and material (mesh, banner, letters)
- Address and photos of the façade
- The existing fixing system, if any

Frequently asked questions
How is the price set if you do not publish rates?
It depends on size, weight, height, the fixing system and whether fixings from a previous campaign are already in place. Installation and removal can be quoted together.
Do you fit mesh on another contractor’s scaffold?
Yes, with that contractor’s agreement and following the site rules.
Can you help with the permit?
Permits are the client’s responsibility. We can provide the technical installation details you need for the application.
Do you work at night?
Where pedestrian traffic is heavy we suggest early-morning slots; night work is agreed case by case.
