Consent for illuminated signs in Blairgowrie and Rattray

Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.

Illuminated built-up letters in Blairgowrie and Rattray: questions

Do you work across Perth and Kinross or only in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

Across all of Perth and Kinross, and the rest of the UK too. Blairgowrie and Rattray is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can our non-lit letters be converted?

Rarely in a way that's worth paying for. Solid built-up or flat-cut letters have no translucent face or space for LEDs, so converting them means rebuilding them. Lighting the existing letters from outside with a trough light or spotlights usually costs less.

How long does the process take?

Making and fitting typically takes 3–5 weeks after you approve the proof. Where express advertisement consent is needed, allow for the council's decision too, usually up to 8 weeks, and plan for production to start once the decision is in.

What if one letter stops lighting?

Usually a connection or driver has failed rather than the LEDs. Drivers sit somewhere reachable, so they can be swapped without taking the sign down, and a letter can be lifted off its studs if a module needs replacing. Keep your handover notes.

What can delay illuminated built-up letters in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Why is there a price range for illuminated built-up letters rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £140 to £360 per letter + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Blairgowrie and Rattray.
