Flat-cut letters are individual letters and logos cut from a single solid sheet, typically 5–10 mm acrylic, aluminium composite or metal, and fixed flush to a wall or held off it on stand-offs.
Practical reasons to consider flat-cut letters in Chester
- In a shared Chester office building, a name on the wall beside your door helps visitors find you on the right floor.
- A serviced office or co-working space in Chester may want a crisp reception name that can change as tenants move on.
- Shopfitters and interior designers working on Chester fit-outs can specify flat-cut letters to the exact RAL or Pantone colour.
What flat-cut letters cost in Chester
Use these figures to budget: £18 to £65 per letter is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-cut letter, 300 mm tall | £18 – £65 | £21.60 – £78 |
| Typical reception or fascia name set | £320 – £1,200 | £384 – £1,440 |
| Fitting template and locators | £45 – £120 | £54 – £144 |
Material and thickness drive most of the difference: acrylic and aluminium composite sit at the lower end, solid metal and mirror finishes at the top. Letter count and height, stand-offs, colour matching, the wall surface and access follow, and every price is confirmed after an artwork check and survey.

Do you need permission for a sign in Chester?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
