Do lightboxes let in water and insects?

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.

Do you work across Wiltshire or only in Trowbridge?

Across all of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK too. Trowbridge 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.

Can the face be changed later?

Yes, which is one of the main advantages of a lightbox. Flex faces unclip or untension and acrylic faces slide or lift out, so a new design can go in without moving the box. Keep the face dimensions from handover for easy reordering.

Can I get a fixed price for lightbox signs in Trowbridge before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £1,250 to £4,800 per lightbox excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

What is the typical timescale for lightbox signs from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Trowbridge.

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.

Lightbox signs in Trowbridge

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.

Consent for illuminated signs in Trowbridge

Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
