How many vehicles make a fleet?

Any number from two upwards. The benefit of fleet livery is consistency and good records rather than size, so a firm with three vans gains as much from a master template as one with fifty. The one-off template set-up is spread across every vehicle you add, both now and in the years ahead.

Can you handle fleet livery for a business in Eastleigh?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Eastleigh and the rest of Hampshire as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

How much should I budget for fleet livery in Eastleigh?

As a guide, £225–£1,650 per vehicle + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

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.

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

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.

Fleet livery in Eastleigh

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 Eastleigh

For contractors on housing, council or utility jobs in Eastleigh, consistent livery helps residents recognise who is genuinely meant to be on site.
Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Eastleigh can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
Adding a new van to an Eastleigh operation is simpler when the master template already exists, because it's printed and fitted to match the rest.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Eastleigh

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.

Covering Eastleigh and Hampshire

Our service reaches Eastleigh and all of Hampshire. The first step depends on the job: a site visit for signs that need measuring, fixing or wiring, or a photo-based quote for graphics and lettering where pictures and sizes tell us enough. The Eastleigh postcode districts we quote for include SO50, SO53 and SO18. Eastleigh is about 4.9 miles north-east of Southampton.
