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.
Points in favour of van sign-writing in Strood
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Strood often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Parked on a driveway in Strood for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Strood make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
What van sign-writing costs in Strood
Pricing for van sign-writing is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £245 to £895 per van + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.

What moves the price: the size of the van, how many words and lines you want, the number of vinyl colours, printed logo panels, reflective or metallic film, and whether old lettering has to come off first.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Strood
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.
