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 Margate?

  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Margate can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
  • Mixed fleets in Margate, 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 Margate site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Margate

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 Margate: questions

How long does it take to get fleet livery in Margate?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

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.

Is Margate inside your coverage area for fleet livery?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Margate and every part of Kent are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Will the location in Margate 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 Margate are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

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.

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.
