Can you light a sign someone else made?

Yes. External lighting works with most fascias, tray signs and lettering. The survey checks the wall above can take the fixings, the sign's finish will light well and there's a practical route for power. Old lightboxes are assessed for an LED retrofit instead.

Can lighting be added to a rented shop?

Usually, with your landlord's written agreement, as most leases control fixings on the outside of the building. Advertisement consent may also be needed, and an electrician connects the lights to BS 7671. Fittings can be removed when the lease ends, and holes made good.

What will an LED retrofit save?

It depends on the old tubes, the hours lit and your electricity rate, but LED modules draw much less power for the same face. There are no tubes, starters or ballasts to replace either. Ask for old and new wattages to compare.

Is Sandhurst inside your coverage area for sign lighting and LED upgrades?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Sandhurst and every part of Berkshire 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.

What is the price of sign lighting and LED upgrades for a business in Sandhurst?

Guide pricing runs from £295 to £1,450 per fascia, 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.

Is there a typical lead time for sign lighting and LED upgrades in Sandhurst?

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.

Sign lighting and LED upgrades in Sandhurst

Sign lighting is external or retrofitted lighting that makes an existing sign readable after dark: LED trough lights, swan-neck spotlights or wall washers, or LED modules replacing old lightbox tubes.

Consent for illuminated signs in Sandhurst

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.
