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.
Where illuminated built-up letters can pay off in Barnstaple
- With a photocell fitted, a Barnstaple sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- Set back on a retail park outside Barnstaple? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- Winter darkness arrives by late afternoon, so face-lit letters keep a Barnstaple shopfront readable to people heading home.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Barnstaple
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For illuminated built-up letters the range is £140–£360 per letter, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check 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 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Barnstaple
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.
