Van sign-writing in Feltham

Smart Signs designs, makes and fits business signage and graphics across the UK, and that includes van sign-writing for shops, offices and trade businesses in Feltham. You deal with one team from the first enquiry to handover: we measure, draw a proof to scale, fix the price in writing and then arrange the making and fitting through installers contracted to us.

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.

Practical reasons to consider van sign-writing in Feltham

  • Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Feltham, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
  • Expanding beyond Feltham into the rest of Greater London? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
  • Many people in Feltham look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Feltham

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 Feltham and Greater London

Van sign-writing in Feltham: questions

Does the price of van sign-writing in Feltham include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £245–£895 per van excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

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.

How much lettering fits on a small van?

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.

Who carries out the work on van sign-writing in Feltham?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

What's the difference between cut vinyl and printed graphics?

Cut vinyl is solid-colour film cut by a plotter into letters and shapes, then weeded and applied, so it's crisp, durable and economical for text. Printed graphics are inks on white film, laminated, and used where a logo has gradients, photos or many colours. Many vans combine both: cut lettering with one printed logo panel.

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 Feltham.
