Fleet livery in Cornwall

Whatever kind of business you run in Cornwall, from a high-street shop to a fleet of vans, fleet livery can be planned, priced and carried out through Smart Signs. We take care of the details that cause problems later, including measurements, fixings, consent and access, and we work right across the South West region and beyond.

From £225 per vehicle + VAT · UK guide price

Fleet livery is a consistent set of vehicle graphics, produced from master templates for each vehicle model, so every van, car, truck or trailer a business runs carries the same branding in the same position.

Why choose fleet livery in Cornwall?

  • For contractors on housing, council or utility jobs in Truro, consistent livery helps residents recognise who is genuinely meant to be on site.
  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Truro can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
  • When several of your vans park at one Truro site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Cornwall

Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.

Fleet livery in Cornwall: questions

Do you cover smaller places near Truro as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Truro itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Cornwall are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

How long does a fleet roll-out take?

It depends on the number of vehicles, the coverage and how many you can release at once. Templates and proofs typically take 2–4 weeks, then vehicles are fitted in agreed batches. A lettering-led livery moves faster than part wraps, and many fleets phase the work over several months so no more than a few vehicles are off the road at a time.

Can you take over livery designed by someone else?

Yes. Send the original artwork if you have it, or straight-on photos of each vehicle type. We redraw the livery onto master templates, match colours as closely as the films allow, and flag anything that won't transfer well to a new model, such as graphics that would cross a different door line.

Is there a guide price for fleet livery in Truro?

Yes: £225–£1,650 per vehicle + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

Is there a typical lead time for fleet livery in Truro?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Do trucks and trailers need different materials?

Often, yes. Box bodies and flat-sided trailers take printed vinyl much like vans, though rivets and corrugated panels need extra care. Curtain-sided trailers usually need graphics printed onto the curtain itself or a flexible film, because the curtain moves and folds. Send photos and we'll suggest an approach for each body type.
