What is the typical timescale for Chapter 8 chevron kits 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 Andover.

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Will the location in Andover affect the cost of Chapter 8 chevron kits?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £325–£895 per vehicle + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Andover are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Does every van legally need Chapter 8 chevrons?

No single answer fits every van. Chapter 8 is guidance for vehicles that stop or work on the highway, and whether your vehicles need rear chevrons depends on the work you do and who you do it for. Clients and contracts often require them, sometimes with extra detail of their own, so check your contract's exact wording and ask your client if it's unclear.

Can chevrons go over an existing wrap or lettering?

Chevrons can be applied over a sound, well-bonded wrap, though fitting them directly to the paint gives a more predictable result. Lettering on the rear doors usually has to move up or come off to make room. If you're planning new livery, leave space for the chevrons on the rear doors at the design stage.

How long does fitting take, and where?

A rear chevron kit is typically fitted in 1–3 hours per vehicle, depending on size and the number of cut-outs. Fitting can usually happen at your depot or yard if there's dry, covered space, so several vehicles can be done in one visit. The doors need to be clean and dry before fitting starts.

Chapter 8 chevron kits in Andover: permission and rules

Rear chevrons aren't usually an advertisement matter, so council consent doesn't come into it. What matters instead is Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, the guidance for vehicles that stop or work on the highway, together with the specification in your contract. Highway authorities, utilities and main contractors often add their own requirements, so send us the exact wording before we cut anything. Markings are kept off windows and away from lights, reflectors and the number plate, which must stay clearly visible. Chevrons don't change a vehicle's main colour, so the V5C isn't affected. Whether you work in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, treat your contract's spec as the standard and confirm it with your client.
