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.

Can flat-cut letters be lit?

They can be picked out with external lighting, such as a wall-washer or spotlights, but a solid flat-cut letter has no room for internal LEDs. For a glowing effect, consider halo-lit letters, which are built with depth for LEDs, or an LED neon sign for an interior feature.

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.

Do you work across Gwent or only in Gelligaer?

Across all of Gwent, and the rest of the UK too. Gelligaer 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.

What can delay flat-cut letters in Gelligaer?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

How much should I budget for flat-cut letters in Gelligaer?

As a guide, £18–£65 per letter + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Do you need permission for a sign in Gelligaer?

Deemed or express consent? In Wales the answer depends on the 1992 Control of Advertisements Regulations, as amended, rather than the English 2007 version. A plain, unlit sign on your own business frontage is often allowed without applying, within limits on size and position, but the details differ from England's, and conservation areas call for extra care. If the building is listed, expect to need listed building consent too. We check with the council before you commit to flat-cut letters, and can prepare the drawings and photographs or handle the submission for you.
