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 St Albans

  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in St Albans can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
  • Vehicles going back to lease companies from a St Albans depot need graphics removed cleanly, so planning de-fleet removal early avoids surprises.
  • When several of your vans park at one St Albans site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.

Rules for vehicle graphics in St Albans

Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.

Fleet livery in St Albans: questions

When could work on fleet livery go ahead in St Albans?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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 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.

Who carries out the work on fleet livery in St Albans?

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.

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.

Will the location in St Albans affect the cost of fleet livery?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £225–£1,650 per vehicle + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in St Albans are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.
