Van sign-writing in Chester

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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.

Usually not. Lettering on the sides and rear is typically fitted in 2–4 hours, once the van has been washed and dried. Vinyl needs dry conditions and reasonable temperatures to stick properly, so outdoor fitting depends on the weather; if it's wet or very cold, we'll suggest a covered space or another date.

More than you'd think, but less than you might want. A small van has room for a clear business name, a short services line and a large phone number on each side, plus the name and number on the rear doors. Squeezing in a long list of services makes everything smaller, so we'll suggest which words to keep.

Cut vinyl comes in a fixed range of colours, so we pick the closest match to your brand colours and show it on the proof. Where an exact match matters, the logo can be printed instead, because print can be tuned more finely. Screens show colours differently, so a printed sample is worth asking for.

Yes. We start from the guide range, £245 to £895 per van excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.
