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.
Built-up 3D letters in Trowbridge: the practical benefits
- Showrooms and dealerships around Trowbridge can use large painted aluminium letters in brand colours on high walls seen from a passing road.
- For an office building on the edge of Trowbridge with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.
- Letters for Trowbridge 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 Trowbridge?
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.
