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.

How much should I budget for LED neon signs in Crawley?

As a guide, £245–£1,250 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Can you work to an opening date in Crawley?

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.

Can LED neon go in a shop window?

Yes, usually hung on wires or chains behind the glass, facing out. Daylight reduces its impact, so it shows most at dusk and after dark. If it's visible from the street, check whether advertisement consent is needed, and keep it static.

Does LED neon flicker or buzz?

Not with a decent driver. LED neon gives a steady light, without the hum ageing glass-neon transformers can make. If a sign starts flickering, a loose connector or failing driver is the usual cause, and both are simple to replace.

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

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.

LED neon signs in West Sussex: 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.
