Warm white and pink LED neon script 'good things take time' on a green tiled café wall

An LED neon sign is a logo or lettering formed from flexible LED tube that imitates glass neon, running at 12 or 24 volts and usually mounted on an acrylic backboard.

Why choose LED neon signs for a business in Hove?

  • Offices in Hove can put a logo or company values on a reception or meeting-room wall in low-voltage light.
  • Cafés in Hove can give customers something worth photographing with a short neon slogan on a feature wall.
  • A Hove restaurant with a covered terrace can use outdoor-rated neon, sealed against rain and hard-wired by an electrician.

What LED neon signs cost in Hove

Budgeting for LED neon signs? The guide below runs from £245 to £1,250 per sign. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking the artwork.

Total flex length drives the price, so dense script costs more than short words. Extra colours, shaped backboards, dimmers or RGB control and hard-wired fitting add to it; larger signs are quoted individually.

LED neon signs in Hove: permission and rules

A neon sign on an inside wall, away from the windows, is usually outside advertisement control. Once it's visible from the street, on a fascia, canopy or just behind the glass, it can count as an illuminated advertisement. In England, lit signs get only limited deemed consent, and none in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control; an express consent decision usually takes up to 8 weeks. Keep street-facing signs static. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own regulations. We can prepare the drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.

Covering Hove and East Sussex

Coverage is nationwide, which means Hove and the surrounding parts of East Sussex are included as standard.

LED neon signs in Hove: questions

Can we take the sign to events?

Yes. Interior LED neon is light and plugs into a normal socket, so it travels well to trade shows, launches and pop-ups. A padded case protects the acrylic edges. Some venues ask for portable appliance testing, so check their rules first.

Can I get a fixed price for LED neon signs in Hove before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £245 to £1,250 per sign excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

What does LED neon cost to run?

Very little, because LED flex draws a modest wattage per metre. For an estimate, multiply the driver's rating in kilowatts by the hours lit and your price per kilowatt-hour. A timer plug stops it running overnight when nobody's there to see it.

Who carries out the work on LED neon signs in Hove?

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.

What is the typical timescale for LED neon signs from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Hove.

Can you copy handwriting?

Yes. A clear scan or photo is traced into a single-line path the flex can follow. Very fine loops and tight joins may be simplified slightly because of the flex's minimum bend radius, and the proof shows exactly how the line will look.
