Is it worth removing graphics before selling a van?

Often, yes. Many buyers prefer a plain vehicle they can brand themselves, and faded or cracked graphics make a van look tired. Removing them also takes your business name and phone number off a vehicle you no longer control. Check for ghosting afterwards and allow time for a polish before taking photos for the sale.

Can removal be done at our premises?

Usually, if there's a dry, covered space with room to work around the vehicle and power for the heat gun. Removal in cold, damp conditions is slower because the film and adhesive stay stiff. For a fleet, doing several vehicles in one visit at your site is often the simplest approach.

What can delay vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Fraserburgh?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Can you remove chevrons and reflective markings?

Yes, though retroreflective film is thicker and tougher than standard vinyl, so it usually takes longer and needs more heat and patience. Check first whether your contracts still need Chapter 8 markings on the vehicle; if they do, plan to have a new kit fitted when the old one comes off.

Will someone visit my premises in Fraserburgh 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.

Does the price of vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Fraserburgh include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £245–£795 per vehicle 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.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Fraserburgh

Vehicle wrap removal is the process of warming old vinyl graphics until the film releases, peeling it away at a low angle, then cleaning off leftover adhesive so the paint is ready to sell, return or re-wrap.

Reasons to choose vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Fraserburgh

What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Fraserburgh

Use these figures to budget: £245 to £795 per vehicle is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.

Vehicle wrap & graphics removal in Fraserburgh: guide prices, supplied and fitted
Item	Guide, ex VAT	Inc. VAT (20%)
Lettering or part graphics removal	£245 – £450	£294 – £540
Full wrap removal	£450 – £795	£540 – £954

The biggest factors are the age of the vinyl, whether it's cast or calendered film, and how much sun damage it has taken: brittle, cracked film takes far longer than film that peels in sheets. Vehicle size, the amount of adhesive left behind and any reflective film also count. Guide prices exclude VAT, and the final figure is confirmed from photos of the film's condition.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Fraserburgh: permission and rules

Removing graphics isn't usually a council matter. The point to watch is the V5C: if the wrap being removed changed the vehicle's main colour and DVLA was told at the time, update the colour back with DVLA and tell your insurer. Removing lettering or a part wrap over the original colour doesn't change the record. On a leased vehicle, check the return conditions for how graphics must be removed and how marks are charged. If the vehicle works on the highway, check whether your contract still needs Chapter 8 markings before they come off. These points are the same whether the vehicle is kept in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
