Rules for window and glass graphics in Dunoon

Start with safety. Large panes and glazed doors that people could walk into need manifestation so the glass is obvious, a requirement reflected in Scotland's building standards guidance and, for workplaces, in regulation 14 of the Workplace Regulations 1992. Planning comes next: councils differ in how they treat window graphics, and while inside-the-glass work is often outside control or allowed, a listed building or conservation area can restrict larger designs. We confirm the marking heights and any planning points with you before you approve the proof.

Window and door lettering in Dunoon: questions

Do you need to visit before fitting?

Not always. For a single door or window, clear photos taken straight on with a tape measure in shot, plus glass sizes, are often enough for a scaled proof. A visit helps for large frontages, unusual glazing or old lettering to remove.

Can you match the lettering on our sign?

Usually, yes. Send the font name if you know it, or a clear photo of the existing sign, and we'll match or redraw the letterforms and colour so door, window and fascia look like one set. Vector logo files help too.

What can delay window and door lettering in Dunoon?

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.

Is Dunoon inside your coverage area for window and door lettering?

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

Will window cleaning damage vinyl lettering?

Normal cleaning won't. Soapy water, a soft applicator and a squeegee are fine. The risk comes from blades pushed against letter edges and from strong solvents. If your windows are scraped regularly, ask for the lettering on the inside face, out of reach.

Why is there a price range for window and door lettering rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £95 to £480 per window + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Dunoon.
