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 Leicester: the practical benefits
- Winter darkness arrives by late afternoon, so face-lit letters keep a Leicester shopfront readable to people heading home.
- Set back on a retail park outside Leicester? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- A clinic, showroom or office in Leicester or across Leicestershire can match its online brand with lit letters.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Leicester

Consent for illuminated signs in Leicester
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.
