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.

Do you need permission for a sign in Tottenham?

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.

Built-up 3D letters in Tottenham: questions

What do you need from me to quote for built-up 3D letters in Tottenham?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

What is the difference between built-up and flat-cut letters?

Built-up letters are hollow, fabricated with separate faces and returns, so they can be 50–100 mm deep or more. Flat-cut letters are cut from one solid sheet, usually 5–10 mm thick. Built-up letters have more presence and share their construction with illuminated letters; flat-cut letters cost less.

How do I keep metal letters clean?

Wash them a few times a year with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry, wiping brushed stainless along the grain. Avoid abrasive pads and bleach-based cleaners, which scratch or mark finishes. Mirror stainless and brass show marks fastest, so they suit positions out of reach.

Can you make my logo in 3D?

Usually, yes. Solid logo shapes are fabricated to the same depth as the letters so the sign reads as one set. Fine lines, gradients and small text are better applied to the fabricated face in vinyl or print, and the proof shows the proposed treatment before fabrication.

Does the price of built-up 3D letters in Tottenham include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £55–£165 per letter excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

What can delay built-up 3D letters in Tottenham?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.
