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 Greater Manchester?
- With a photocell fitted, a Manchester sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- Winter darkness arrives by late afternoon, so face-lit letters keep a Manchester shopfront readable to people heading home.
- Set back on a retail park outside Manchester? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
Guide prices in Greater Manchester
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £140 to £360 per letter, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.
| 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 Greater Manchester
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.
Options worth considering
Trimless
Faces sit inside a fine metal lip for a sharper edge.
Fully lit acrylic

Film that looks black by day and glows white once lit.
