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.

Where van sign-writing can pay off in Peckham

  • Many people in Peckham look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
  • Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Peckham make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
  • Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Peckham, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Peckham

Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.

Covering Peckham and Greater London

Van sign-writing in Peckham: questions

Can you sign-write a van that isn't white?

Yes. Lettering works on any sound paint colour as long as the vinyl contrasts strongly with it. White, yellow or silver lettering suits dark blue, black or grey vans; black or navy suits white, silver and other light colours. Metallic paint is fine, though busy two-tone paint schemes leave less clear space for text.

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 price of van sign-writing for a business in Peckham?

Guide pricing runs from £245 to £895 per van, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

Do you work across Greater London or only in Peckham?

Across all of Greater London, and the rest of the UK too. Peckham 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.

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.

When could work on van sign-writing go ahead in Peckham?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.
