Quick cost overview
Here’s what to expect when budgeting for hoarding signage:
- Site survey: Usually a few hundred pounds, depending on location & complexity
- Custom printed panels: From around £70 per standard panel, varying with size and finish
- Headers & Kickers: Typically from £15 per set
- Artwork & design: Free with Monster-Mesh
- Delivery: Depends on quantity, weight, and location
- Installation: Ranges depending on site size, layout, and complexity
Costs scale with the number of panels, the finish you choose, and the overall complexity of your site.
What affects the cost of hoarding signage?
The total cost depends on several factors:
- Number of panels required – Larger sites need more printed boards.
- Panel size & finish – Laminated, gloss, or anti-graffiti finishes are more premium.
- Delivery location – Remote areas can increase transport costs.
- Site complexity – Changes in elevation, doors, gates, or floor levels can add labour time.
- Extras – Headers, kickers, or bespoke features can add to the total.
Tip: To estimate the number of panels you need, divide the total linear metres to cover by the panel width.
How much are hoarding panels per board?
Panel prices vary depending on size, quantity, and finish:
- Unlaminated panels: Affordable, best for indoor or short-term projects. Less durable, more basic look.
- Gloss or matt laminated panels: Most popular, durable for outdoor, long-term use. Gloss adds vibrancy; matt is subtle and elegant.
- Anti-graffiti laminated panels: Slightly higher cost, worth it if your site is prone to graffiti. Makes cleaning easier without stopping vandalism.
Typical panels start from around £70–£100 each, depending on size and finish.
Choosing the right finish is a key factor in the cost of your Hoarding boards.
Example supply-only price
A typical supply-only project might look like this:
- 30 gloss laminated standard ACM panels
- Price per panel: £100.75 (ex VAT)
- Total supply-only cost: £3,022.50 (ex VAT)
This doesn’t include survey or installation, which will vary depending on your site.
Survey costs
A site survey ensures panels fit perfectly and identifies potential challenges.
- Typical survey costs: £350 – £500, depending on site complexity and location.
Tip: A survey often saves time, money, and prevents costly mistakes during installation.
Headers & kickers (optional extras)
If you want matching headers and kickers, these are priced separately. These can cost anything from £15 upwards per set. Larger orders may lower per-unit costs
These can enhance your site branding without a big impact on your budget.
Adding headers and kickers provides a clean, framed finish to your signage for a relatively low additional cost.
Design & artwork
Many suppliers charge for design, but we include free artwork & design.
Graphics that span multiple panels can be tricky. Our designers make sure your branding flows seamlessly across your hoarding signage.

Delivery costs
Delivery depends on quantity, weight, and location.
- Example for guidance: 30 panels delivered locally might cost a few hundred pounds
- Delivery & installations for the same orders may cost a few thousand pounds
Always confirm delivery costs before ordering, especially for large or remote sites.
How much does installation cost?
Installation costs depend on:
- Site size and layout
- Elevation changes, doors, or gates
- Total number of panels
Smaller sites are quicker and cheaper to install; complex or multi-level sites require more time and labour.
Full-service installation costs vary based on site size and complexity.
Supply-only vs full-service cost comparison
| Option | Typical Costs | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Supply-only | £72 – £100+ per panel + delivery | You handle surveys and installation |
| Full-service | Panel costs + survey, delivery & installation | We handle everything from start to finish |
Full-service is ideal for a hassle-free solution. Supply-only works well for smaller or DIY projects.
