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 Dalkeith
- Ground-floor shops in Dalkeith can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- Inside a Dalkeith clinic or practice, letters behind the reception desk tell visitors they are in the right place straight away.
- Small firms moving into a new Dalkeith unit can start with flat-cut letters at reception, adding exterior signs once the lease is settled.

Do you need permission for a sign in Dalkeith?
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.
