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.
Good reasons to look at built-up 3D letters in Putney
- Gyms, studios and trade units in Putney can use painted aluminium letters on profiled cladding for a durable name above the roller door.
- Refurbishing a frontage in Putney? Plan letter positions with the architect's drawings so fresh render isn't drilled twice.
- Letters for Putney frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.
What built-up 3D letters cost in Putney
How much? Expect a guide range of £55–£165 per letter, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| 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 Putney?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
