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 for a business in Finchley?
- Hotels and venues in Finchley wanting a lasting first impression may choose brass-finish letters, which suit traditional and modern buildings.
- Business park tenants in Finchley who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- For an office building on the edge of Finchley with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.

Do you need permission for a sign in Finchley?
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.
