Rules for window and glass graphics in Gelligaer

Shop windows in Wales are a grey area for advertisement control, and each council takes its own view. Lettering and graphics fixed to the inside face of the glass are often outside control or permitted, yet a large design on a listed shopfront or in a conservation area may run into restrictions. For that reason we ask before anything is printed. Safety is a separate duty. Panes people could walk into must be made visible, Welsh building guidance carries the same aim, and at work regulation 14 of the 1992 Workplace Regulations requires marking where needed. Our proof shows exactly where the manifestation sits.

Window and door lettering in Gelligaer: questions

Can you handle window and door lettering for a business in Gelligaer?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Gelligaer and the rest of Gwent as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

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.

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.

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.

Is there a typical lead time for window and door lettering in Gelligaer?

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.

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 Gelligaer.
