What built-up 3D letters cost in Newton Aycliffe
Below is the guide pricing we use for built-up 3D letters: from £55 up to £165 per letter, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.

Do you need permission for a sign in Newton Aycliffe?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
