Do you need permission for a sign in Lancing?

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.

Flat-cut letters in Lancing: 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.

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.

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.

Is there a guide price for flat-cut letters in Lancing?

Yes: £18–£65 per letter + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

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 Lancing once materials are ordered.

Will someone visit my premises in Lancing before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.
