No. Our guide range of £325–£895 per vehicle 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.

Wash them as part of the normal vehicle wash, using vehicle shampoo and a soft brush or mitt. Road film and mud cut down how much light the chevrons reflect, so keeping them clean matters more than it does for ordinary graphics. Avoid solvents and scrapers, and keep pressure-washer lances back from edges and cut-outs.

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

It depends on the grade of retroreflective film, how much sun and road grime the vehicle sees, and how it's cleaned. Manufacturer ratings vary between grades, so check the data for the film your contract specifies. Inspect the markings regularly, because faded, cracked or peeling chevrons reflect less and may not pass a client's vehicle check.

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Yes. Truck and tipper kits are cut to the tailgate, rear frame or box body, around lights, hinges, catches and the number plate. Tipper tailgates take a lot of knocks, so edges are sealed carefully. Guide prices for a truck or tipper rear are from £595 to £895 + VAT, confirmed once we've seen photos and your spec.
