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.
Good reasons to look at flat-cut letters in Manchester
- Inside a Manchester clinic or practice, letters behind the reception desk tell visitors they are in the right place straight away.
- Ground-floor shops in Manchester can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- Small firms moving into a new Manchester 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 Manchester?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
