Flat-cut letters in Bath

Your enquiry about flat-cut letters in Bath goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Bath as it is throughout Somerset.

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 Bath

  • Companies hosting clients in Bath meeting rooms can brand the space with a flat-cut logo rather than printed graphics that date.
  • Small firms moving into a new Bath unit can start with flat-cut letters at reception, adding exterior signs once the lease is settled.
  • Shopfitters and interior designers working on Bath fit-outs can specify flat-cut letters to the exact RAL or Pantone colour.

Do you need permission for a sign in Bath?

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.

Flat-cut letters in Bath: questions

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.

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on flat-cut letters happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Bath once materials are ordered.

What is the price of flat-cut letters for a business in Bath?

Guide pricing runs from £18 to £65 per letter, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

What do you need from me to quote for flat-cut letters in Bath?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.
