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.
Reasons to choose built-up 3D letters in Letchworth Garden City
- A Letchworth Garden City restaurant with a handsome stone or brick front can skip a fascia panel and let fabricated letters sit directly on the masonry.
- Refurbishing a frontage in Letchworth Garden City? Plan letter positions with the architect's drawings so fresh render isn't drilled twice.
- Letters for Letchworth Garden City frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.

Do you need permission for a sign in Letchworth Garden City?
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.
