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.
The case for illuminated built-up letters in Northampton
- Set back on a retail park outside Northampton? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- Among the fascias of a busy Northampton street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for a Northampton frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Northampton
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 Northampton
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.
