Rules for vehicle graphics in Stroud
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.
Covering Stroud and Gloucestershire
From the middle of Stroud to the edges of Gloucestershire, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Around Stroud, that covers postcode districts such as GL6 and GL5. Stroud lies around 8.2 miles south of Gloucester.
