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.
Why choose lightbox signs for a business in Gravesend?
- A Gravesend takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.
- Businesses with several sites across Kent can share one set of artwork, so the Gravesend branch matches the rest.
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Gravesend? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
What lightbox signs cost in Gravesend
Below is the guide pricing we use for lightbox signs: from £1,250 up to £4,800 per lightbox, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Lightbox up to 3 m, printed face | £1,250 – £2,650 | £1,500 – £3,180 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Gravesend
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.
