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 Norfolk?
- Showrooms and dealerships around Norwich can use large painted aluminium letters in brand colours on high walls seen from a passing road.
- A Norwich restaurant with a handsome stone or brick front can skip a fascia panel and let fabricated letters sit directly on the masonry.
- Hotels and venues in Norwich wanting a lasting first impression may choose brass-finish letters, which suit traditional and modern buildings.

| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |

The metal drives cost first: painted aluminium sits at the lower end, mirror stainless and brass finishes at the top. Letter height, return depth, letter count, stand-off locators, access height and the wall surface follow. Every price is confirmed after survey and an artwork check.
Do you need permission for a sign in Norfolk?
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.

Painted aluminium
Lightweight letters painted or powder coated to any RAL colour.

Higher-grade stainless for coastal sites where salt air attacks lesser grades.
