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 in Tyne and Wear?

LED neon signs in Tyne and Wear: 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.

LED neon signs in Tyne and Wear: questions

How do I get a quote for LED neon signs in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Does the price of LED neon signs in Newcastle upon Tyne include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £245–£1,250 per sign excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Can you work to an opening date in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

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.

Does LED neon get hot?

Only slightly warm. The flex runs at 12 or 24 volts, so it's comfortable to touch and suits places within reach, such as a café wall or salon window. The mains side is in the driver, which should stay ventilated and dry.

What if part of the sign fails?

The driver is the most common failure and is quick to swap. If a section of flex fails, it can usually be cut out and replaced or the run reconnected, rather than remaking the whole sign. Keep the driver details from handover.
