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.
Points in favour of built-up 3D letters in Nottingham
- Business park tenants in Nottingham who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- Gyms, studios and trade units in Nottingham can use painted aluminium letters on profiled cladding for a durable name above the roller door.
- Letters for Nottingham frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.

Do you need permission for a sign in Nottingham?
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.
