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.

Practical reasons to consider fleet livery in Cheadle Hulme

  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Cheadle Hulme can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
  • When several of your vans park at one Cheadle Hulme site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.
  • Facilities, cleaning and maintenance firms with contracts in and around Cheadle Hulme benefit from vehicles that look like one team, whoever is driving.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Cheadle Hulme

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 Cheadle Hulme: questions

Do you cover smaller places near Cheadle Hulme as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Cheadle Hulme itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Greater Manchester 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.

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.

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 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.

Is there a guide price for fleet livery in Cheadle Hulme?

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on fleet livery happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Cheadle Hulme once materials are ordered.
