Consent for illuminated signs in Dungannon

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.

Illuminated built-up letters in Dungannon: questions

Is Dungannon inside your coverage area for illuminated built-up letters?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Dungannon and every part of County Tyrone are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

How bright should lit letters be?

Bright enough to read clearly without glare. Councils often assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' PLG05 guidance, which sets lower limits in darker, residential areas than in town centres. Dimmable drivers let the output be turned down after fitting if needed.

Can you work to an opening date in Dungannon?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

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.

What makes illuminated built-up letters more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Dungannon is £140–£360 per letter + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

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.
