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.
The case for LED neon signs in Colchester
- Cafés in Colchester can give customers something worth photographing with a short neon slogan on a feature wall.
- Keeping neon inside and static is usually the simpler route for a Colchester shop within a conservation area.
- Gyms and studios in Colchester can put bold neon words on training walls, where the low-voltage flex stays cool.
What LED neon signs cost in Colchester
How much? Expect a guide range of £245–£1,250 per sign, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| LED neon sign up to 600 mm | £245 – £495 | £294 – £594 |
| LED neon sign 600 mm–1.2 m | £450 – £1,250 | £540 – £1,500 |
| Outdoor-rated version | £150 – £450 | £180 – £540 |
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 Colchester: 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.
