Built-up letters are three-dimensional letters fabricated, usually from metal sheet, with a face and returns joined into a hollow letter typically 50–100 mm deep, then fixed to a wall or sign on locators.
Points in favour of built-up 3D letters in Stroud
- Letters for Stroud frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.
- Business park tenants in Stroud who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- Showrooms and dealerships around Stroud can use large painted aluminium letters in brand colours on high walls seen from a passing road.

Do you need permission for a sign in Stroud?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
