Do you need permission for a sign in Peckham?

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.

Flat-cut letters in Peckham: questions

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.

Will the location in Peckham affect the cost of flat-cut letters?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £18–£65 per letter + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Peckham are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

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.

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

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 work across Greater London or only in Peckham?

Across all of Greater London, and the rest of the UK too. Peckham is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

How small can flat-cut letters be?

Small letters can be cut, but very thin strokes become fragile and hard to fix securely. A strapline under a logo is usually better in vinyl or printed on a panel, with flat-cut kept for the main name and logo. We check stroke widths on your artwork first.
