Will someone visit my premises in Telford 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.

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.

What is the typical timescale for van wraps from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Telford.

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 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.

Does the price of van wraps in Telford include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £795–£3,850 per van excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Van wraps in Shropshire

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.

Why choose van wraps in Shropshire?

A firm just starting out in Telford can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Telford gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
Vans left overnight on residential streets in Telford carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Shropshire

Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.

Options worth considering

Full wrap

Almost every painted exterior panel covered, for a new colour or an end-to-end design.

Reflective details

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

Gloss, satin or matt laminate

The laminate finish changes how colours look and how easily the van wipes clean.
