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.

Why does our old lightbox flicker?

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.

Do you cover smaller places near Leeds as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Leeds itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across West Yorkshire 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.

How long does a printed face last?

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.

What makes lightbox signs more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Leeds is £1,250–£4,800 per lightbox + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Is there a typical lead time for lightbox signs in Leeds?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Lightbox signs in West Yorkshire

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 West Yorkshire?

On a dimly lit Leeds side street, a lightbox brings its own light and helps customers find the door.
When an old fluorescent box above a Leeds shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.
Where a Leeds shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.

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.

Consent for illuminated signs in West Yorkshire

Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.

Options worth considering

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