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 Sheffield
- Ground-floor shops in Sheffield can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- Small firms moving into a new Sheffield 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 Sheffield?
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.
