Building Banner Advertising in the United Kingdom

We plan building banners across London, Manchester and Birmingham in the UK. A facade or a wrap is one structure, sold for a set number of weeks, with the creative built to the real measurements. It is a single booking, not a rotation. Artwork is checked against those measurements before production starts. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most large facade wraps and shrouds need express advertisement consent from the local planning authority under UK planning regulations, with a decision typically taking up to 8 weeks. Requirements can vary depending on the area, particularly in conservation zones.

Size depends entirely on the building. Past UK examples have ranged from around 12 metres by 25 metres to over 24 metres by 130 metres, so wraps can be scaled to a single storefront or an entire facade.

No. While it's often used on scaffolding and hoardings during refurbishment, wraps can also be applied to permanent facades and large wall spaces on completed buildings, wherever the right surface is available.

Allowing several weeks or more is advisable, particularly for large printed installations. Site availability, artwork, structural requirements, production, installation and any necessary approvals all need to be coordinated. In England, a local authority can take up to eight weeks to determine an express advertisement consent application.

Printed building wraps, facade banners and scaffold shrouds typically use large format artwork designed for viewing at distance. Building digital screens can support static, animated or motion creative depending on the individual screen and local requirements.

Duration is set by the local authority as part of the advertisement consent, and is often tied to the length of the construction or refurbishment works the banner covers.
