Chapter 8 chevrons are rear markings of alternating red and fluorescent yellow retroreflective material, with the chevrons pointing upwards, fitted to vehicles that stop or work on the highway under the Traffic Signs Manual's Chapter 8 guidance.
The case for Chapter 8 chevron kits in Bordon
- Main contractors in Bordon may ask subcontractors to show their vehicle markings at site induction, so a properly cut kit helps avoid delays on the first day.
- Vans that stop at kerbsides in Bordon to repair, survey or unload are easier for approaching drivers to pick out with high-visibility rear chevrons.
- Utility and highway contractors working on roads in and around Bordon are often asked for Chapter 8 rear markings before their vehicles are allowed on site.
What Chapter 8 chevron kits cost in Bordon
Pricing for Chapter 8 chevron kits is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £325 to £895 per vehicle + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Car-derived or small van | £325 – £495 | £390 – £594 |
| Medium or large van | £395 – £695 | £474 – £834 |
| Truck or tipper rear | £595 – £895 | £714 – £1,074 |
Price depends on the area to be covered, how many cut-outs are needed around handles, lights and cameras, the grade of retroreflective film your contract specifies, whether old markings must come off, and how many vehicles are done in one visit. All figures are guides excluding VAT, confirmed when we have photos and your contract spec.

Chapter 8 chevron kits in Bordon: 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.
