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.
Reasons to choose van wraps in Chelsea
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Chelsea carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Chelsea can help it go back in better condition.
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Chelsea give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
What van wraps cost in Chelsea
Prices below are guides, not quotes: £795 to £3,850 per van plus VAT, depending on size, materials and access. We confirm the exact figure after a survey or an artwork check, and it is agreed before anything is made.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Part wrap (sides and rear) | £795 – £1,850 | £954 – £2,220 |
| Full wrap, small or medium van | £1,950 – £2,950 | £2,340 – £3,540 |

The main drivers are van size, how much is covered, how complex the panels are, design time and whether old graphics have to come off first. Ribbed sides and deep recesses take longer to fit. All prices exclude VAT and are confirmed after we've checked your van details and artwork.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Chelsea
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.
Covering Chelsea and Greater London
We take on work in Chelsea, across Greater London and throughout the UK. When a survey makes sense, typically for anything fixed at height or illuminated, we arrange a visit. Graphics are often priced from pictures and dimensions, with a survey added only if the photos leave questions. Postcode districts around Chelsea include SW3, SW10, SW7 and SW1W. Chelsea is about 2.3 miles south-west of central London.
