Can a wrap go over the existing lettering?

It's better not to. Old lettering leaves raised edges that show through new film, and the new wrap would only be as secure as the old vinyl underneath. Taking the lettering off first, cleaning away the adhesive and checking for ghosting gives the wrap a smooth base. Removal is quoted as part of the job when it's needed.

How long does a van wrap last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast wrap film for around 5–7 years on vertical panels such as the sides and rear doors. The roof and bonnet face the sun and weather directly, so they age faster. Colour, climate, parking and washing habits all make a difference, and a van kept out of direct sun and washed gently will usually look better for longer.

Can you work to an opening date in Kirkintilloch?

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.

Will someone visit my premises in Kirkintilloch 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.

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.

Is there a guide price for van wraps in Kirkintilloch?

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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Kirkintilloch

For vehicle graphics in Scotland, think DVLA and insurance rather than planning. A vehicle that is normally driven is outside advertisement control, though one parked up mainly as an advertisement is not. If the main colour changes, update the colour on your V5C and tell your insurer. We keep all graphics clear of the windscreen and front side windows, which need at least 75% and 70% light transmission under the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations. Before wrapping, we check the paintwork: chips, rust, poor resprays or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is removed later.
