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.
Practical reasons to consider lightbox signs in Wimbledon
- Businesses with several sites across Greater London can share one set of artwork, so the Wimbledon branch matches the rest.
- When an old fluorescent box above a Wimbledon shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.
- Where a Wimbledon shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.
What lightbox signs cost in Wimbledon
Use these figures to budget: £1,250 to £4,800 per lightbox is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.
| 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.
Options for your Wimbledon project
Double-sided box
Lit on both faces, for gable ends, canopies or posts.

Joint-free over long spans and simple to re-print later.
Routed push-through face
Only the lettering glows, standing slightly proud of the face.
Consent for illuminated signs in Wimbledon
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 Wimbledon and Greater London
Yes, Wimbledon is covered, as is the rest of Greater London. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Postcode districts around Wimbledon include SW19, SW20, SW17 and SM4. Roughly 6.8 miles separate Wimbledon from central London, which lies to the north-east.
