Options for your Derry/Londonderry project

Reflective details

Part wrap

Sides and rear printed over your factory paint, which does part of the design work.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Derry/Londonderry

In Northern Ireland, as in Great Britain, DVLA keeps the vehicle register, so a wrap that changes your vehicle's main colour means updating the V5C and informing your insurer. Advertisement consent is not normally needed for graphics on a vehicle that is driven in the ordinary way; parking one up mainly as a billboard changes that. Windscreens need at least 75% light transmission and front side windows at least 70%, so those stay clear. Paint condition matters as well: wraps go on sound factory paint, and resprays, rust or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is later removed.

Van wraps in Derry/Londonderry: questions

Where does the van get wrapped?

Wrapping needs a clean, dry, covered space at a reasonable temperature, because dust and damp affect how the film sticks. If you have a suitable unit or garage with room to walk around the van, fitting can often happen there; otherwise we agree a location with you. A full wrap typically keeps the van off the road for 1–3 days.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on van wraps 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 Derry/Londonderry once materials are ordered.

Is there a guide price for van wraps in Derry/Londonderry?

Yes: £795–£3,850 per van + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

What if your phone number or services change?

The affected area can usually be patched with a new printed section cut to fit the existing design, rather than redoing the whole van. On an older wrap, new print may look slightly brighter than film that has been in the sun for a while, so replacing a larger panel, such as a whole rear door, can blend in better.

Can graphics go on the rear windows?

Yes, on the rear windows, using perforated one-way vision film that lets the driver see out while passers-by see the print. It's used on vans with two exterior mirrors. The windscreen and front side windows must let through at least 75 per cent and 70 per cent of light respectively, so we keep graphics off those.

How do I get a quote for van wraps in Derry/Londonderry?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.
