Fleet livery in Barnet

Every business in Barnet wants its signage to do one job properly, whether that means being read from the road, giving a little privacy or making glass obvious to people walking towards it. Our approach to fleet livery starts there, with sizes and materials chosen for the building or vehicle in question. We work UK-wide, so enquiries from Barnet and across Greater London follow one straightforward process.

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 for a business in Barnet?

  • Mixed fleets in Barnet, with managers' cars, engineers' vans and a tipper for the yard, can share one look adapted to each vehicle.
  • When several of your vans park at one Barnet site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.
  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Barnet can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Barnet

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.

Covering Barnet and Greater London

Fleet livery in Barnet: questions

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.

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.

Who carries out the work on fleet livery in Barnet?

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.

Does the price of fleet livery in Barnet include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £225–£1,650 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.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Barnet?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.
