What can delay van sign-writing in Woking?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Can I get a fixed price for van sign-writing in Woking before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £245 to £895 per van excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

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.

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.

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.

Will someone visit my premises in Woking before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

Van sign-writing in Surrey

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.

Why choose van sign-writing in Surrey?

Expanding beyond Woking into the rest of Surrey? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
Your van probably spends more time on Woking roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Woking often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.

Guide prices in Surrey

Below is the guide pricing we use for van sign-writing: from £245 up to £895 per van, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.

Van sign-writing in Surrey: guide prices, supplied and fitted
Item	Guide, ex VAT	Inc. VAT (20%)
Basic lettering (sides and rear)	£245 – £450	£294 – £540
Lettering with printed logo panels	£395 – £895	£474 – £1,074

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. Every figure is a guide excluding VAT, confirmed once we've seen your wording and photos of the van.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Surrey

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.

Options worth considering

Lettering with printed logo panels

Cut lettering plus a printed, laminated logo where colours or gradients need it.

Reflective lettering

Retroreflective vinyl for key details, bright in headlights at night.

Rear-window graphics

Perforated one-way vision film on the rear glass of vans with two exterior mirrors.
