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.
The case for flat-cut letters in Gainsborough
- Ground-floor shops in Gainsborough can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- In a shared Gainsborough office building, a name on the wall beside your door helps visitors find you on the right floor.
- Inside a Gainsborough clinic or practice, letters behind the reception desk tell visitors they are in the right place straight away.

Do you need permission for a sign in Gainsborough?
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.
