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.
Why choose illuminated built-up letters for a business in Belfast?
- With a photocell fitted, a Belfast sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for a Belfast frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.
- Corner units in Belfast can carry matching lit letters on both elevations, wired back to a single time switch.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Belfast
Budgeting for illuminated built-up letters? The guide below runs from £140 to £360 per letter. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Face-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £140 – £360 | £168 – £432 |
| Typical business name (10–14 letters) | £2,400 – £8,900 | £2,880 – £10,680 |
| Final electrical connection by an electrician | £150 – £350 | £180 – £420 |
Height and letter count drive most of the cost; stainless returns and trimless faces add more, as do access equipment, old-sign removal and consent drawings.

Consent for illuminated signs in Belfast
Light changes the consent position. Under Northern Ireland's 2015 Advertisement Regulations, internally lit, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent from the council, applied for online through the NI Planning Portal. A listed building usually needs listed building consent as well. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the final mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671, who certifies the circuit. Councils commonly refer to PLG05 for brightness and expect steady rather than flashing light. We check before you commit to illuminated built-up letters and can prepare or submit the application.
