Printed Site Hoarding Boards UK

Site hoarding is a protective boundary structure erected around a construction, development or refurbishment project. Its primary function is to create a safe, secure perimeter that shields the public from building work, prevents unauthorised access and ensures compliance with health and safety requirements. But hoarding also serves a powerful secondary purpose: it provides a large-scale, highly visible canvas for brand messaging, promotional graphics and project marketing. Printed site hoarding transforms an otherwise utilitarian barrier into a marketing asset — communicating what is being built, who is building it, and why it matters to the local community. At Studio1, we produce and install printed site hoarding for property developers, construction contractors, retail operators and public bodies across the UK.

Hoarding is the most cost-effective way to bring a brand message to life on a large-scale public platform! The cost of hoarding projects will vary depending on the materials and finishing options required. If you’d like to discuss your project, please get in touch on 01604 774 860 and our experienced team can advise on the most effective solution for your requirements.

In most cases, temporary site hoarding erected for the duration of a construction or development project does not require planning permission, as it typically falls within permitted development rights. However, this depends on factors including the height of the hoarding, its location, the nature of the development and the local planning authority’s requirements. Hoarding in conservation areas, on listed buildings or adjacent to a highway may be subject to additional restrictions or require prior approval. If your hoarding also carries advertising — promoting a product or service unrelated to the development itself — it may need consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations. Our team will advise on any known local requirements during your initial site survey, and we can work alongside your planning team or agent where needed.

Site hoarding is installed specifically to enclose and protect an active construction or development site. Its graphics typically promote the development itself — the project name, the developer’s brand, key messaging about what is being built, and any Considerate Constructors Scheme information. Advertising hoarding, by contrast, is a permanent or semi-permanent structure in a fixed public location, designed to carry paid-for third-party advertising — billboards being the most familiar example. The two are governed by different regulations: site hoarding generally falls under permitted development during construction, whereas advertising hoarding is subject to advertisement consent. Studio1 produces both types, but the majority of our hoarding work relates to construction site hoardings for property developers, housebuilders, retail refurbishments and commercial developments.

Yes — we manage the entire process from initial site visit through to installation and aftercare. Before any design or production begins, our experienced surveyors will visit your site to take precise measurements, assess the substrate and fixing conditions, identify any access or logistical challenges, and recommend the most appropriate hoarding system and materials for your specific project. Our installation teams are fully accredited — holding CSCS, IPAF and PASMA certifications — and are experienced in working on live construction sites in public spaces. We prepare full risk assessments and method statements prior to every install. We can also provide ongoing aftercare, including inspections, cleaning and repairs, to keep your hoarding looking its best throughout the project.
