Do you work across South Glamorgan or only in Whitchurch?

Across all of South Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK too. Whitchurch is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can the halo be coloured?

Yes. Coloured LEDs can give an amber, blue or brand-coloured halo, and colour-changing LEDs are possible where consent allows. White remains the usual choice because it suits most metals and walls. Keep street-facing light static, as flashing light generally needs specific consent.

Are halo letters readable from afar?

Less so than face-lit letters, because the face stays dark and you read the shape against the glow. They suit entrances approached on foot, such as hotels, restaurants and receptions. For main roads or tall buildings, face-and-halo letters give more reach.

Will the location in Whitchurch 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 Whitchurch are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Will brass halo letters tarnish?

Bare solid brass darkens and spots outdoors over time. A clear lacquer slows this, and coated brass-effect finishes on a steel base are more stable still. Some owners like the aged patina; others want the polished look kept, so decide before ordering.

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

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.

Halo-lit letters in Whitchurch

Halo-lit letters are solid-faced fabricated letters with LEDs inside that shine backwards onto the wall, so each letter stands in silhouette against a soft outline of light.

Consent for illuminated signs in Whitchurch

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.
