Can you fix letters to a slatted timber or acoustic wall?

Yes. Letters are pinned or studded into the slats themselves, with the template used to line them up across the gaps so no fixing lands on empty space. Thin strokes may need a backing strip or a heavier font weight to span the slats securely.

How thick should flat-cut letters be?

For most receptions, 5 mm suits smaller text and 10 mm suits main names and logos. Outside, the thicker end of the range is safer because it resists bowing and shows a visible edge from the side. Very large letters usually move into metal or built-up construction.

Can flat-cut letters go on glass?

Yes. On a glass partition or screen, letters are bonded with a clear adhesive made for glass, and the back of each letter is visible from the other side, so it is finished to look tidy from both directions. A frosted band behind can hide the adhesive.

Is there a typical lead time for flat-cut letters in Peterhead?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Do you cover smaller places near Peterhead as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Peterhead itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

What makes flat-cut letters more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Peterhead is £18–£65 per letter + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Do you need permission for a sign in Peterhead?

In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
