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 in Lancashire?
- Business park tenants in Preston who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- For an office building on the edge of Preston with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.
- Hotels and venues in Preston wanting a lasting first impression may choose brass-finish letters, which suit traditional and modern buildings.
Guide prices in Lancashire
Below is the guide pricing we use for built-up 3D letters: from £55 up to £165 per letter, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.

Do you need permission for a sign in Lancashire?
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.

Mirror-polished stainless
Reflective faces that catch light, but show fingerprints.
