Will someone visit my premises in Market Harborough before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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.

Can you work to an opening date in Market Harborough?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

How much should I budget for built-up 3D letters in Market Harborough?

As a guide, £55–£165 per letter + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

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.

Can non-lit built-up letters be lit later?

Not easily. Illuminated letters need translucent faces or open backs, internal LED modules, drain holes and cable routes designed in from the start. If lighting is a possibility, we can quote halo-lit or face-lit letters now, or plan spotlights for a non-lit set.

Do you need permission for a sign in Market Harborough?

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.
