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.
Points in favour of illuminated built-up letters in Catford
- Set back on a retail park outside Catford? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for a Catford frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.
- Winter darkness arrives by late afternoon, so face-lit letters keep a Catford shopfront readable to people heading home.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Catford

|---|---|---|
| Face-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £140 – £360 | £168 – £432 |

Trimless
Faces sit inside a fine metal lip for a sharper edge.
Consent for illuminated signs in Catford
Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
