Do you work across Berkshire or only in Sandhurst?

Across all of Berkshire, and the rest of the UK too. Sandhurst is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can a car wrap carry business branding?

Yes. Printed or cut graphics can go on top of a colour change, or straight onto the factory paint as a lighter-touch option, such as a logo on the front doors and a web address on the boot. Graphics on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control, so branding a car you drive for work isn't usually a council matter.

Do you have to tell DVLA about a colour-change wrap?

Yes, if the wrap changes the car's main colour. Update the colour on the V5C log book with DVLA, and tell your insurer before you drive the car in its new colour. A part wrap such as a black roof or mirrors doesn't change the main colour, so the V5C stays as it is, though it's still worth mentioning to your insurer.

What is the price of car wraps and colour change for a business in Sandhurst?

Guide pricing runs from £1,950 to £3,750 per car, 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.

When could work on car wraps and colour change go ahead in Sandhurst?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

How long does a colour-change wrap last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast colour-change films at around 5–7 years for vertical surfaces like the doors. The roof, bonnet and boot lid take more sun and weather, so they age faster. The colour and finish play a part too, as do where the car is parked and how it's washed.

Car wraps and colour change in Sandhurst

A car wrap is a thin cast vinyl film applied over the factory paint to change the car's colour or finish, either across every panel or on selected parts such as the roof or mirrors.

Why choose car wraps and colour change for a business in Sandhurst?

Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Sandhurst all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Sandhurst often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
In a Sandhurst car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Sandhurst

For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
