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 cost in Hitchin
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 Hitchin
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.
