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.
What built-up 3D letters can do for businesses in Strood
- Letters for Strood frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.
- Showrooms and dealerships around Strood can use large painted aluminium letters in brand colours on high walls seen from a passing road.
- Business park tenants in Strood who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.

Do you need permission for a sign in Strood?
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.
