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.
Good reasons to look at built-up 3D letters in Galashiels
- Showrooms and dealerships around Galashiels can use large painted aluminium letters in brand colours on high walls seen from a passing road.
- Refurbishing a frontage in Galashiels? Plan letter positions with the architect's drawings so fresh render isn't drilled twice.
- For an office building on the edge of Galashiels with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.
What built-up 3D letters cost in Galashiels
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £55 to £165 per letter, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Fabricated letter, 300 mm tall | £55 – £165 | £66 – £198 |
| Typical business name (10–14 letters) | £850 – £2,600 | £1,020 – £3,120 |
| Logo or symbol, made to the same depth | £150 – £650 | £180 – £780 |
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 Galashiels?
Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.
