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.
What flat-cut letters can do for businesses in Downpatrick

What flat-cut letters cost in Downpatrick
Guide prices for flat-cut letters run from £18 to £65 per letter, excluding VAT. The table below breaks that down; your actual price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed the site or checked the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|

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 Downpatrick?
Signs in Northern Ireland are covered by the 2015 Control of Advertisements Regulations (NI), not the English or Scottish versions. Whether an unlit sign needs an application depends on its size, where it sits on the building and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Where consent is needed, the council handles it, with applications made online via the NI Planning Portal. For listed buildings, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check what applies to your premises before anything is ordered, and we can prepare or submit the application for you.
