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.

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 Preston inside your coverage area for fleet livery?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Preston and every part of Lancashire 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.

Is there a guide price for fleet livery in Preston?

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.

What can delay fleet livery in Preston?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Fleet livery in Lancashire

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 in Lancashire?

Facilities, cleaning and maintenance firms with contracts in and around Preston benefit from vehicles that look like one team, whoever is driving.
Mixed fleets in Preston, with managers' cars, engineers' vans and a tipper for the yard, can share one look adapted to each vehicle.
Adding a new van to a Preston operation is simpler when the master template already exists, because it's printed and fitted to match the rest.

Guide prices in Lancashire

Guide prices for fleet livery run from £225 to £1,650 per vehicle, excluding VAT. The table below breaks that down; your actual price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed the site or checked the artwork.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Lancashire

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.

Options worth considering

Part-wrap livery

Printed graphics on the sides and rear, with the factory colour as background.

De-fleet removal

Livery taken off in batches as vehicles are sold or returned.

Mixed fleet scheme

One brand look adapted for cars, vans, trucks and trailers.
