If you’re getting quotes today for a sign removal service, the key is knowing exactly what details to provide so companies can give you accurate, same-day estimates—without the back-and-forth.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get the right quotes quickly and confidently:
📸 1. Gather Key Info Before You Contact Anyone
Be ready to provide these details:
- 📍 Location of the sign (full address or postcode)
- 🏢 Type of sign (e.g. fascia sign, illuminated lightbox, 3D letters, vinyl, projecting sign)
- 📏 Size of the sign (approx. width x height)
- 🔌 Is it illuminated or wired? (If so, electrical disconnection may be needed)
- 🪜 Height/access requirements (e.g. “above a ground floor shop,” “second-floor height,” etc.)
- 🔧 What surface is it attached to? (brick, glass, render, metal, cladding)
- 📅 When do you need it removed? (Today? This week?)
- 🧹 Do you need full clean-up and disposal? (Recommended!)
- 🕒 Any preferred time slots (during/after business hours?)
Bonus: Take a few photos of the sign and how it’s fixed—front view, side view, and close-ups if you can. This makes quotes faster and more accurate.
📞 2. What to Say When Requesting a Quote
Here’s a ready-to-go message you can send by email, text, or WhatsApp:
