Can we see the night-time look first?

Yes. The design proof shows the letters to scale on a photo of your building, and a night-time visual can show the lit effect. Where colour is critical, a sample letter or face can be lit for you to check before the full set is made.

Will lit letters suit a curved fascia?

Usually, yes. Letter backs can be shaped to follow a gentle curve, or letters can sit on locators of different lengths so each stands true on an uneven or raked surface. The survey records the shape, and the fixing template is made to match it.

How long does the process take?

Making and fitting typically takes 3–5 weeks after you approve the proof. Where express advertisement consent is needed, allow for the council's decision too, usually up to 8 weeks, and plan for production to start once the decision is in.

Do you cover smaller places near Craigavon as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Craigavon itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across County Armagh 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.

Is there a typical lead time for illuminated built-up letters in Craigavon?

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.

Will the location in Craigavon affect the cost of illuminated built-up letters?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £140–£360 per letter + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Craigavon are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Consent for illuminated signs in County Armagh

Under the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, an illuminated fascia or projecting sign usually needs express consent from the council. Applications go in online via the NI Planning Portal, and the council will tell you its timescale and may set conditions on hours or light levels. PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual brightness benchmark, and flashing is generally out. Listed premises usually need listed building consent alongside. Once installed, the sign is connected to the mains by an electrician to BS 7671, with a certificate for you. We can prepare the drawings or submit the application.
