How long does door lettering take to fit?

Not long on site. A door set with a name and opening hours typically takes under an hour once the glass is clean, and a full window set a few hours, depending on the amount of text and any old lettering to remove.

What is the typical timescale for window and door lettering 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 Kilmarnock.

Will someone visit my premises in Kilmarnock before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

How much does door lettering cost?

Door lettering with opening hours has a guide price of £95–£245 + VAT, supplied and fitted, and a full window set £195–£480 + VAT. Gold or metallic vinyl adds a guide £30–£120 + VAT. The price is confirmed once we see photos and wording.

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.

Does the price of window and door lettering in Kilmarnock include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £95–£480 per window excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Ayrshire

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.
