A van wrap is printed cast vinyl film, protected by a clear laminate, applied over a van's factory paint to cover some or all of its panels with your branding, colours and contact details.

Practical reasons to consider van wraps in Barnet

  • Wherever you park in Barnet, whether a trade counter, a supermarket car park or a client's drive, the wrap keeps working while you do.
  • Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Barnet can help it go back in better condition.
  • A firm just starting out in Barnet can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.

Options for your Barnet project

Reflective details

Retroreflective film for stripes or lettering that shows up in headlights.

Colour change plus graphics

Plain coloured film over the whole van, with printed or cut graphics on top.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Barnet

Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.

Covering Barnet and Greater London

Yes, Barnet is covered, as is the rest of Greater London. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. The Barnet postcode districts we quote for include EN5, EN4, N20 and N12. Barnet lies around 10 miles north of central London.

Van wraps in Barnet: questions

Will someone visit my premises in Barnet 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.

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 Barnet.

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.

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 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.

Is there a typical lead time for van wraps in Barnet?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.
