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 Yarm

What built-up 3D letters cost in Yarm
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For built-up 3D letters the range is £55–£165 per letter, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |

Do you need permission for a sign in Yarm?
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.
