Illuminated built-up letters are fabricated 3D letters with translucent opal acrylic faces and LED modules inside, so each face glows and your name reads clearly after dark.
Where illuminated built-up letters can pay off in Fraserburgh
- For a Fraserburgh takeaway, gym or bar open into the evening, a lit name turns glances into visits.
- Among the fascias of a busy Fraserburgh street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.

What illuminated built-up letters cost in Fraserburgh

| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Face-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £140 – £360 | £168 – £432 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Fraserburgh
Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.
