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.

What fleet livery can do for businesses in Hailsham

  • Adding a new van to a Hailsham operation is simpler when the master template already exists, because it's printed and fitted to match the rest.
  • For contractors on housing, council or utility jobs in Hailsham, consistent livery helps residents recognise who is genuinely meant to be on site.
  • Vehicles going back to lease companies from a Hailsham depot need graphics removed cleanly, so planning de-fleet removal early avoids surprises.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Hailsham

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.

Fleet livery in Hailsham: questions

Should Chapter 8 chevrons be part of the livery?

If your vehicles stop or work on the highway and your contracts ask for them, yes. It's better to design the rear doors with the chevron area set aside than to add chevrons later over the branding. The livery then keeps the name and phone number clear of the markings, and the rear still carries your brand.

Is there a guide price for fleet livery in Hailsham?

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.

Can cars and vans in one fleet carry different levels of graphics?

Yes, and it's common. Pool cars might carry a logo and web address on the doors, vans a part wrap with services and phone number, and trucks larger side graphics. The colours, typefaces and logo placement stay consistent, so every vehicle still reads as the same business.

How long does it take to get fleet livery in Hailsham?

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.

Do you work across East Sussex or only in Hailsham?

Across all of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK too. Hailsham 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.

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.
