Installing a custom letterbox faceplate requires precision and care to ensure a professional result that looks architecturally integrated. Our process starts by holding the faceplate in position over the letterbox cavity and confirming that it’s perfectly level.
Once aligned, we trace around the outside with a pencil to define the exact placement. Industrial-grade adhesive is then applied within the traced area, taking care to stay clear of the edges — not just for neatness, but because the adhesive is so strong that any excess that squeezes out can permanently damage the surrounding surface or even rip render from the wall if removal is attempted.
Once applied, we carefully fit the faceplate and support it with timber props while the adhesive cures, typically for around 30 minutes. The final step is a gentle clean of the surface and a check from all angles — leaving a crisp, ultra-secure installation that frames your mail slot beautifully and stands up to the elements for years to come
