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 in Devon?
- A clinic, showroom or office in Plymouth or across Devon can match its online brand with lit letters.
- Among the fascias of a busy Plymouth street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.
- Winter darkness arrives by late afternoon, so face-lit letters keep a Plymouth shopfront readable to people heading home.
Guide prices in Devon
Use these figures to budget: £140 to £360 per letter is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over 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 Devon
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
Options worth considering
Fully lit acrylic
Faces and returns both glow, so letters read well from an angle.
Trimless
Faces sit inside a fine metal lip for a sharper edge.
Trim cap
A plastic edge holds each face on; robust and easy to service.
