Consent for illuminated signs in Armagh

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.

Illuminated built-up letters in Armagh: questions

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 Armagh as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Armagh 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.

How long does it take to get illuminated built-up letters in Armagh?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Does the price of illuminated built-up letters in Armagh include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £140–£360 per letter excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

What if one letter stops lighting?

Usually a connection or driver has failed rather than the LEDs. Drivers sit somewhere reachable, so they can be swapped without taking the sign down, and a letter can be lifted off its studs if a module needs replacing. Keep your handover notes.

What do LED letters cost to run?

Not much, because LED modules draw far less power than older neon and fluorescent signs. The total depends on module count and hours lit. Ask for the total wattage on your quote, and use a time switch so the sign isn't lit overnight.
