Consent for illuminated signs in Egham

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.

Illuminated built-up letters in Egham: questions

Will the location in Egham affect the cost of illuminated built-up letters?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £140–£360 per letter + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Egham are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Who carries out the work on illuminated built-up letters in Egham?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

How bright should lit letters be?

Bright enough to read clearly without glare. Councils often assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' PLG05 guidance, which sets lower limits in darker, residential areas than in town centres. Dimmable drivers let the output be turned down after fitting if needed.

What do LED letters cost to run?

Not much, because LED modules draw far less power than older neon and fluorescent signs. The total depends on module count and hours lit. Ask for the total wattage on your quote, and use a time switch so the sign isn't lit overnight.

When could work on illuminated built-up letters go ahead in Egham?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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.
