What is the price of van sign-writing for a business in Swindon?

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.

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on van sign-writing happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Swindon once materials are ordered.

Do you cover smaller places near Swindon as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Swindon itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Wiltshire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

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 long does van lettering last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast vinyl for around 5–7 years on vertical surfaces such as van sides. Polymeric cut vinyl costs less and has a shorter rated life, which can suit a van you'll change in a few years. Sun exposure and washing habits matter, and lettering on a bonnet ages faster than lettering on the sides.

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 Wiltshire

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

Metallic or outlined lettering

Metallic-effect vinyl or a contrasting outline to lift text on darker paint.

Lettering only

Name, services and contact details cut in one or two vinyl colours.

Rear-window graphics

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