Do you need permission for a sign in Chatham?

In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.

Covering Chatham and Kent

We take on work in Chatham, across Kent and throughout the UK. When a survey makes sense, typically for anything fixed at height or illuminated, we arrange a visit. Graphics are often priced from pictures and dimensions, with a survey added only if the photos leave questions. Addresses in ME4, ME7, ME1 and ME5 are all within our Chatham coverage. From Maidstone, Chatham is roughly 7.8 miles to the north.

Flat-cut letters in Chatham: questions

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.

Do you work across Kent or only in Chatham?

Across all of Kent, and the rest of the UK too. Chatham 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.

Will flat-cut letters damage my wall?

Fixing needs small holes for studs, and adhesive can pull paint when letters are removed. On leased premises, check what your lease allows; we can fix with studs only, so the holes are small and simple to fill when you move out.

Can you fix letters to a slatted timber or acoustic wall?

Yes. Letters are pinned or studded into the slats themselves, with the template used to line them up across the gaps so no fixing lands on empty space. Thin strokes may need a backing strip or a heavier font weight to span the slats securely.

Why is there a price range for flat-cut letters rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £18 to £65 per letter + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Chatham.

Can you work to an opening date in Chatham?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.
