Fleet livery in Leicestershire

Across Leicestershire, businesses ask us about fleet livery for all kinds of reasons: a new opening, a rebrand, a safety requirement or simply replacing something tired. Smart Signs handles the job end to end: a survey or photo check, a design drawn to scale, a written price agreed up front, and fitting arranged once you approve. Coverage takes in all of Leicestershire and the rest of England.

From £225 per vehicle + VAT · UK guide price

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 Leicestershire?

  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Leicester can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
  • Facilities, cleaning and maintenance firms with contracts in and around Leicester benefit from vehicles that look like one team, whoever is driving.
  • Vehicles going back to lease companies from a Leicester depot need graphics removed cleanly, so planning de-fleet removal early avoids surprises.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Leicestershire

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.

Fleet livery in Leicestershire: questions

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.

Do you work across Leicestershire or only in Leicester?

Across all of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK too. Leicester is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Leicester?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

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.

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.

Does the price of fleet livery in Leicester include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £225–£1,650 per vehicle excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.
