After time has been spent designing your Business Signs, maintaining them through the seasons ensures they continue to look great & last for a long time.
Check Fixings After Winter Storms
Loose bolts, shifted panels and cracked fastenings cause problems all year round but are most exposed after a harsh winter. Inspect your business signs’ mountings and brackets after the worst weather has passed.
Inspect for UV Damage in Summer
Heat from strong sunlight can cause vinyl letters to lift from the edges of a sign panel over time. As the seasons pass, the colours in your sign may also fade, often quite rapidly in some cases. Run your fingers over the edges of any vinyl lettering on your signs throughout late Spring to check for signs of bubbling. In addition, check the original colours against the signs’ appearance now.
Clear Debris and Reseal Before Autumn
Many signs begin to deteriorate as the autumn damp sets in. Clear any debris, such as fallen leaves, around sign bases. If necessary apply a bead of sealant to any exposed edges where moisture could enter and cause deterioration.

Test Illuminated Signs Before Winter
Check all lamps and LEDs before the dark winter months kick in. Signage throughout the year is important for businesses, especially those based in Exeter. Their Exeter signs will have to withstand South West England’s rainy weather and strong winds, so check electrical housing for any signs of water penetration.
Keep a Simple Maintenance Log
The notebook or spreadsheet that records the dates and actions of the sign maintenance will be useful and cost nothing to set up. This is a task that can be completed in minutes.
By following a simple maintenance routine throughout the year, you can prevent having to replace your business signs in a hurry.
