Lightbox or lit letters?

A lightbox suits a logo, colours or extra information on one lit panel at lower cost. Individually lit letters give a cleaner, brand-led look with the fascia showing between them. Your street, budget and any conservation-area rules usually decide it.

Can the existing wiring be reused?

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.

Is Perth inside your coverage area for lightbox signs?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Perth and every part of Perth and Kinross are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Can a lightbox go on bare brick?

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.

What is the price of lightbox signs for a business in Perth?

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.

What can delay lightbox signs in Perth?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Lightbox signs in Perth and Kinross

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 in Perth and Kinross?

If a Perth convenience store or pharmacy has a sound box frame, a new face refreshes the frontage for less.

Consent for illuminated signs in Perth and Kinross

Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.

Options worth considering

Replacement face

A new face cut to fit a sound existing box.

Routed push-through face

Only the lettering glows, standing slightly proud of the face.

Double-sided box

Lit on both faces, for gable ends, canopies or posts.
