Lightbox signs in Blantyre

Often the existing supply, switch and timer can be reused, provided an electrician checks them first. New LED drivers usually replace the old control gear inside the box. If the circuit is old or untested, the electrician will advise before connecting to BS 7671.

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

Across all of Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK too. Blantyre is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Yes, if there's sound masonry to fix to. The box sits on brackets or rails anchored into the wall, with a cable entry drilled behind it. Render, timber boarding or old cladding may need checking or reinforcing first, which the survey covers.

Guide pricing runs from £1,250 to £4,800 per lightbox, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.
