Your business signage is a major investment as well your customers first impression. The professional appearance of your brand is preserved, and its life is prolonged through regular maintenance. Here’s your essential maintenance checklist.
Daily Checks
Check all lights are working – every night. One dead bulb gives a terrible impression.
Cleaning: Use a gentle wipe to clean high touch signs such as door graphics, window clings of any fingerprints or smudges. For Signage Exeter, contact //exeter.nettl.com/signs/
Weekly Maintenance
Cleaning Surfaces: Clean all sign surfaces using the correct cleaners. Soft soap and water used on many materials; avoid using strong chemical substances that can eat at finishes.
Obstruction Test: Make sure foliage, parked cars or other items do not obstruct the line of sight.
Monthly Inspections
Structure: Make sure mounting brackets, fixings and frames are not loose or corroded. Tighten any loose components immediately.
Inspect for cracks, peeling or fading due to weather damage – especially after storms.
Electrical Parts: Inspect wiring, transformers and connections for signs of wear or damage.
Quarterly Reviews
Deep Clean: Deep clean all signs, even the hard-to-reach spots.
Paint touch-ups: This helps to stop scratches and faded areas from becoming worse.
Landscaping: Cut back any overgrown plants that might block signage.
Annual Professional Service
For complex or sign lighting that is, professionals will catch problems before they become major repairs.
Documentation
Save maintenance records, with dates and work completed (and any issues found). This will list warranty claims, and a plan for when the battery likely needs to be replaced.
Taking care of your signage is the best way to protect the investment you made and show potential customers that even little details are important.
