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 Surrey?
- Refurbishing a frontage in Woking? Plan letter positions with the architect's drawings so fresh render isn't drilled twice.
- Business park tenants in Woking who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- A Woking restaurant with a handsome stone or brick front can skip a fascia panel and let fabricated letters sit directly on the masonry.

Do you need permission for a sign in Surrey?
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.
Options worth considering
Brass or copper finish
Warm metallic faces, lacquered or left to patina.
Brushed 304 stainless
