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.
What illuminated built-up letters can do for businesses in Southsea
- Winter darkness arrives by late afternoon, so face-lit letters keep a Southsea shopfront readable to people heading home.
- Among the fascias of a busy Southsea street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.
- A clinic, showroom or office in Southsea or across Hampshire can match its online brand with lit letters.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Southsea
Here is the price picture for illuminated built-up letters in Southsea: a guide of £140 to £360 per letter, with VAT on top. The rows below give more detail. A survey or artwork check comes first, and then we confirm the price in writing.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Face-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £140 – £360 | £168 – £432 |

Options for your Southsea project
Day/night faces
Film that looks black by day and glows white once lit.
Trim cap
A plastic edge holds each face on; robust and easy to service.
Fully lit acrylic
Faces and returns both glow, so letters read well from an angle.
Consent for illuminated signs in Southsea
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.
