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.
Illuminated built-up letters in Herne Bay: the practical benefits
- Among the fascias of a busy Herne Bay street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.
- A clinic, showroom or office in Herne Bay or across Kent can match its online brand with lit letters.
- Set back on a retail park outside Herne Bay? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Herne Bay
Below is the guide pricing we use for illuminated built-up letters: from £140 up to £360 per letter, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Face-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £140 – £360 | £168 – £432 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Herne Bay
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.
