Rules for vehicle graphics in Barrow-in-Furness

For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.

Van wraps in Barrow-in-Furness: questions

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 you work to an opening date in Barrow-in-Furness?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

Who carries out the work on van wraps in Barrow-in-Furness?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

Why is there a price range for van wraps rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £795 to £3,850 per van + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Barrow-in-Furness.

Can a wrap go over dents, rust or a respray?

A wrap follows the surface it's on, so dents and deep scratches still show through, and rust keeps spreading underneath. Poor resprays and failing lacquer are the bigger risk, because they can lift when the wrap is removed later. We check the paint before quoting and suggest any repairs that should happen first.

Do you need print-ready artwork for a van wrap?

No. A logo file, your brand colours and the wording you want are enough to start. The design is laid out on a scale template of your van, with each side, the front and the rear doors shown on the proof. If you already have a full wrap design, we check it against the template so nothing lands on a handle or door gap.
