Lightbox signs in Hazel Grove

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.

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Hazel Grove itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Greater Manchester are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

In an older box it's usually failing fluorescent tubes, starters or ballasts, and replacing them one at a time rarely lasts. Patchy light can also mean water has got in. Converting the box to LED fixes the cause, if the frame is sound.

Yes: £1,250–£4,800 per lightbox + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

Several years in most positions, though colours fade noticeably faster on a sunny south-facing frontage. Laminates and UV-resistant inks help slow fading, and reds and yellows usually go first. A box that's easy to re-face keeps future rebrands and refreshes affordable.

A well-made box is sealed around the face, with small drainage holes along the bottom so condensation can escape. LEDs run much cooler than tubes, so less heat draws insects in. Taking the face off occasionally to clean inside keeps the light even.
