Home / Signs & Awnings
A shop sign is often the first thing a customer notices, and an awning can be the difference between a passing glance and someone stepping through the door. At Deol Shopfronts, we design, manufacture and fit shop signs and awnings for retailers, restaurants, salons and offices across London and the surrounding Essex boroughs.
Working from our Romford base, we combine local knowledge of planning requirements with in-house manufacturing, so every sign and awning we produce is built to last and fitted properly the first time.
We are a sign shop in London that handles the full process, from initial design through to manufacture and installation, rather than outsourcing parts of the job to third parties. Whatever the frontage, we can usually offer a signage solution that suits the brand and the building.
Fascia signage remains the most common and most effective way to identify a shopfront from the street. We manufacture built-up letters, tray signs and flat panel fascias in a range of materials, finished to match the shopfront and brand colours.
LED-illuminated fascia and projecting signs extend visibility into the evening and give a shopfront a more premium, professional finish. We handle the electrical connection as part of the installation, so the sign is ready to switch on as soon as it goes up.
For businesses on a busy high street, a projecting sign mounted at right angles to the building can catch the attention of pedestrians who might otherwise walk straight past a flat fascia.
Window vinyls, manifestation graphics and one-way vision film are a cost-effective way to reinforce branding, display opening hours, or add privacy to a frontage without a full sign replacement.
Alongside signage, we supply and install shop awnings across London, giving businesses shelter, shade and another surface to carry branding. As a shop awning supplier, we work with retractable and fixed designs to suit different frontages and different budgets.
Because we manufacture our own signage and awning frames rather than reselling third-party products, we can adjust designs to fit an unusual frontage, tight timeline or specific planning condition without the delays that come from working through an external supplier. Every project starts with a site visit to measure the frontage accurately and discuss what the business is trying to achieve, whether that is a full rebrand or a simple like-for-like replacement.
Many London boroughs, and conservation areas in particular, have specific rules around signage size, illumination and awning design. We are used to working within these restrictions and can advise on what is likely to need planning consent before work begins, helping avoid delays or enforcement issues once the sign or awning is up.
We install shop signs and awnings across London and Essex, working out from our Romford base to cover the wider region including Ilford, Barking, Dagenham, Chadwell Heath, Hornchurch and neighbouring boroughs. If a business is outside this immediate area, it is still worth getting in touch, as we regularly travel further afield for the right project.

We have built our reputation as a sign shop in London on doing the practical things well: accurate measuring, honest timelines, and signage that is fitted properly rather than rushed. Because we design, manufacture and install everything ourselves, businesses deal with one team throughout the project rather than being passed between a designer, a manufacturer and a separate fitting contractor.
Timelines vary with the complexity of the design and whether planning consent is needed, but a straightforward fascia sign can often be manufactured and installed within a few weeks of the design being approved.
It depends on the size, illumination and location of the sign or awning, and whether the property sits within a conservation area. We can advise on what is likely to be needed as part of the initial site visit.
Yes. We work from brand guidelines, logo files or an existing sign to match colours, fonts and finishes as closely as possible.
Yes, we manufacture and install LED-illuminated fascia and projecting signs, including the electrical connection as part of the installation.
We work across London and Essex from our Romford base, including Ilford, Barking, Dagenham, Chadwell Heath and Hornchurch, and are happy to discuss projects further afield.
