Do you need the van for a whole day?

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.

Can you copy the lettering from my old van?

Yes, as long as there are clear photos. Send straight-on pictures of each side and the rear doors, with something of known size in shot such as the number plate. We redraw the layout to suit the new van's panels, which is also a good moment to tidy up the wording or update the phone number.

What is the typical timescale for van sign-writing from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Wrexham.

Do you work across Clwyd or only in Wrexham?

Across all of Clwyd, and the rest of the UK too. Wrexham 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.

What makes van sign-writing 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 Wrexham is £245–£895 per van + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Can you match my logo colours exactly?

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.

Van sign-writing in Wrexham

Van sign-writing is lettering, a logo and contact details cut from coloured vinyl and applied straight onto a van's paint, usually on the sides and rear doors, without covering whole panels in printed film.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Wrexham

Do you need the council's permission to wrap or letter a vehicle in Wales? Normally no. Graphics carried on a vehicle that is driven in the ordinary course of business sit outside advertisement control, and only a vehicle left standing largely as an advertising display is likely to interest the council. The rules that do bite concern registration and the road. A new main colour has to be recorded on the V5C with DVLA, and your insurer should hear about it. Front glazing stays clear: the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require 75% of light through the windscreen and 70% through the front side windows. If the vehicle is leased, check the agreement allows graphics.
