Is there a typical lead time for halo-lit letters in Mountain Ash?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

How do you look after halo letters?

Clean metal faces gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent a few times a year, avoiding abrasive pads on brushed or mirror finishes. Check the clear backs for trapped dirt or insects. If a halo dims or goes patchy, the driver is the usual suspect.

Do you cover smaller places near Mountain Ash as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Mountain Ash itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Mid Glamorgan are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

Will the location in Mountain Ash affect the cost of halo-lit letters?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £160–£420 per letter + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Mountain Ash are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

How far off the wall do halo letters sit?

Usually 25–50 mm. Closer gives a tight, bright outline; further gives a softer, wider glow and makes the letters seem to float. Larger letters generally sit further out. The distance is set on the drawings and fine-tuned on the locators during fitting.

Can halo letters go on dark brick?

They can, but the halo will be faint because dark surfaces absorb light. The usual answer is a pale backing panel behind the letters, giving the glow a clean surface. Face-and-halo letters are another option, where the lit face does most of the work.

Consent for illuminated signs in Mountain Ash

Illuminated fascia and projecting signs in Wales usually need express consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. Because the Welsh rules differ in detail from England's, we check with the planning authority what applies to your building, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building, where listed building consent may also be needed. Councils commonly look at brightness against the ILP's PLG05 guidance and expect static lighting. The final connection to the mains is made by an electrician to BS 7671, and you receive the certificate. We prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
