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.

The case for van wraps in Uxbridge

  • A firm just starting out in Uxbridge can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
  • Queues on the main roads in and out of Uxbridge give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
  • If you trade across Greater London as well as Uxbridge, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.

What van wraps cost in Uxbridge

Guide prices for van wraps run from £795 to £3,850 per van, excluding VAT. The table below breaks that down; your actual price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed the site or checked the artwork.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Uxbridge

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.

Van wraps in Uxbridge: questions

Do you work across Greater London or only in Uxbridge?

Across all of Greater London, and the rest of the UK too. Uxbridge is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

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.

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 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.

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 Uxbridge once materials are ordered.

Can I get a fixed price for van wraps in Uxbridge before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £795 to £3,850 per van excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.
