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.

What is the typical timescale for fleet livery from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Hyde.

Who carries out the work on fleet livery in Hyde?

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.

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 do you keep colours consistent across the fleet?

By fixing the film and print references at the start and recording them. Solid-colour vinyl is chosen from a fixed range, and printed colours are matched to your references and proofed on the actual film. Small variations between print batches can occur, so replacement panels are checked against the graphics already fitted.

Is there a guide price for fleet livery in Hyde?

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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Hyde

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 Hyde and Greater Manchester

Yes, Hyde is covered, as is the rest of Greater Manchester. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Around Hyde, that covers postcode districts such as SK14, SK16, M34 and SK15. Hyde lies around 6.8 miles east of Manchester.
