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 you work to an opening date in Market Harborough?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

How long does a fleet roll-out take?

It depends on the number of vehicles, the coverage and how many you can release at once. Templates and proofs typically take 2–4 weeks, then vehicles are fitted in agreed batches. A lettering-led livery moves faster than part wraps, and many fleets phase the work over several months so no more than a few vehicles are off the road at a time.

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 handle fleet livery for a business in Market Harborough?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Market Harborough and the rest of Leicestershire 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 Market Harborough?

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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Market Harborough

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.
