Why is there a price range for built-up 3D letters rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £55 to £165 per letter + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Fraserburgh.

Why use a paper template for fixing?

The template is a full-size layout of every letter with its fixing holes marked. Taped to the wall, it shows the exact position and spacing before anyone drills, lets you see the scale on the real building, and makes sure each stud lines up with its hole.

What is the typical timescale for built-up 3D letters from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Fraserburgh.

Do stainless steel letters rust?

Stainless steel resists rust well, but it is not immune. Grade 304 suits most inland sites; near the coast, grade 316 is specified because salt air can cause brown tea staining on 304. Occasional washing with clean water keeps either grade bright.

What is the difference between built-up and flat-cut letters?

Built-up letters are hollow, fabricated with separate faces and returns, so they can be 50–100 mm deep or more. Flat-cut letters are cut from one solid sheet, usually 5–10 mm thick. Built-up letters have more presence and share their construction with illuminated letters; flat-cut letters cost less.

Do you need permission for a sign in Fraserburgh?

In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
