A lightbox sign is a shallow enclosed box with a translucent face and LED lighting inside, so the whole panel, or just lettering routed into it, glows evenly at night.
Points in favour of lightbox signs in Slough
- Late-opening barbers and cafés in Slough can use routed faces so only the name glows, for a cleaner look.
- If a Slough convenience store or pharmacy has a sound box frame, a new face refreshes the frontage for less.
- A Slough takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.
What lightbox signs cost in Slough
Prices below are guides, not quotes: £1,250 to £4,800 per lightbox plus VAT, depending on size, materials and access. We confirm the exact figure after a survey or an artwork check, and it is agreed before anything is made.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Lightbox up to 3 m, printed face | £1,250 – £2,650 | £1,500 – £3,180 |
| Lightbox 3–5 m, routed and push-through letters | £2,450 – £4,800 | £2,940 – £5,760 |
| Replacement face for an existing lightbox | £295 – £950 | £354 – £1,140 |
Length and face type drive most of the price; shaped or double-sided boxes, old-cabinet removal, fascia repairs, access equipment and consent drawings add to it.

Consent for illuminated signs in Slough
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
Covering Slough and Berkshire
From the middle of Slough to the edges of Berkshire, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. In postcode terms, Slough jobs typically fall in SL1, SL2, SL3 and SL4. Roughly 17 miles separate Slough from Reading, which lies to the west.
