High-Level Sign Installation in Girona
Installing a sign at height isn't like hanging a sign at street level. It takes the right equipment, trained staff and specific permits — here's what you need to know before you hire it.
Installing a sign at height isn't like hanging a sign at street level. It takes the right equipment, trained staff and specific permits — here's what you need to know before you hire it.
Not every sign goes up at street level. Multi-storey façades, industrial units, large signs visible from a distance, or locations with difficult access all require different tools and planning from a standard installation.
A sign on the first or second floor of a building, a large sign on an industrial unit, or a location without direct access from the street are the most common cases that call for high-level installation techniques. It isn't just a question of looks: poor planning can put the safety of the crew and passers-by at risk.
Before quoting, we always assess access, the exact height, and whether public road space needs to be used during installation.
To work at height we use certified elevating platforms and full safety equipment — harnesses, lifelines — following health and safety at work regulations. It's not a question of improvising with a ladder: every high-level installation is planned before anyone goes up, with the right materials and trained staff.
Good safety equipment isn't an added cost — it's what guarantees the installation gets done right the first time, without risks.
When the installation affects a public road — pavement space taken up by the platform, a partial street closure — a council permit is required, and requirements vary by town hall and type of street. A company with local experience already knows what each council in the area asks for and handles the paperwork before the installation, so it doesn't cause a last-minute delay.
Always ask whether the company handles these permits or whether that's down to you — it's a detail that makes a real difference to the final timeline.
Working at height requires specific training, regularly inspected equipment, and public liability insurance that covers this type of work. Always ask whether the company has training in vertical or high-level work and whether the equipment used is certified — it's a question that quickly separates those who do it properly from those who improvise.
At Original Graphics we've been installing signs at all kinds of locations across the Girona area since 2017, including those that require high-level work.

Do I need an elevating platform for any sign? No, only when the height or location requires it. Signs at street level or small sizes usually don't need one.
Are you insured for high-level work? Yes, we have the equipment and cover needed to work safely on façades and elevated locations.
How long does a high-level installation take? It depends on the height, access, and whether a prior council permit is needed. We detail this before starting, included in the quote.
Do you work across the whole Girona area? Yes, from our workshop in Caldes de Malavella we serve the whole province of Girona.
