Fleet livery in Lancing

Your enquiry about fleet livery in Lancing goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Lancing as it is throughout West Sussex.

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.

What fleet livery can do for businesses in Lancing

  • Mixed fleets in Lancing, 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 Lancing operation is simpler when the master template already exists, because it's printed and fitted to match the rest.
  • When several of your vans park at one Lancing site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.

Options for your Lancing project

Lettering-led livery

Cut vinyl name, services and contact details applied identically to each vehicle.

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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Lancing

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.

Fleet livery in Lancing: questions

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.

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.

How do I get a quote for fleet livery in Lancing?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

What makes fleet livery more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Lancing is £225–£1,650 per vehicle + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Is there a typical lead time for fleet livery in Lancing?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.
