What built-up 3D letters cost in Ashford
The table shows guide prices for built-up 3D letters, starting from £55 and reaching about £165 per letter. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Fabricated letter, 300 mm tall | £55 – £165 | £66 – £198 |

Do you need permission for a sign in Ashford?
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.
