Consent for illuminated signs in Feltham

Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.

Illuminated built-up letters in Feltham: questions

Can we see the night-time look first?

Yes. The design proof shows the letters to scale on a photo of your building, and a night-time visual can show the lit effect. Where colour is critical, a sample letter or face can be lit for you to check before the full set is made.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on illuminated built-up letters happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Feltham once materials are ordered.

Why is there a price range for illuminated built-up letters rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £140 to £360 per letter + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Feltham.

Will someone visit my premises in Feltham before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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.

Can our non-lit letters be converted?

Rarely in a way that's worth paying for. Solid built-up or flat-cut letters have no translucent face or space for LEDs, so converting them means rebuilding them. Lighting the existing letters from outside with a trough light or spotlights usually costs less.
