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.
Why choose built-up 3D letters in Greater London?
- For an office building on the edge of central London with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.
- Business park tenants in central London who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- Showrooms and dealerships around central London can use large painted aluminium letters in brand colours on high walls seen from a passing road.
Guide prices in Greater London
Guide prices start from £55 and go up to £165 per letter, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Fabricated letter, 300 mm tall | £55 – £165 | £66 – £198 |
| Typical business name (10–14 letters) | £850 – £2,600 | £1,020 – £3,120 |
| Logo or symbol, made to the same depth | £150 – £650 | £180 – £780 |
The metal drives cost first: painted aluminium sits at the lower end, mirror stainless and brass finishes at the top. Letter height, return depth, letter count, stand-off locators, access height and the wall surface follow. Every price is confirmed after survey and an artwork check.
Do you need permission for a sign in Greater London?
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.
Options worth considering
Mirror-polished stainless
Reflective faces that catch light, but show fingerprints.
Brass or copper finish
Warm metallic faces, lacquered or left to patina.
316 stainless
Higher-grade stainless for coastal sites where salt air attacks lesser grades.
