Every business in Larne wants its signage to do one job properly, whether that means being read from the road, giving a little privacy or making glass obvious to people walking towards it. Our approach to vehicle wrap and graphics removal starts there, with sizes and materials chosen for the building or vehicle in question. We work UK-wide, so enquiries from Larne and across County Antrim follow one straightforward process.

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 Larne

  • Vans leaving a Larne business at the end of a lease usually need to go back clean, so book removal well ahead of the collection date.
  • Rebranding a Larne business means the old name and number have to come off every vehicle before the new livery goes on.
  • Buyers of used vans in Larne and across County Antrim often prefer a plain vehicle, so stripping old lettering can make a van easier to sell.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Larne: 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.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Larne: questions

What is the typical timescale for vehicle wrap and graphics removal 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 Larne.

Why does some old vinyl come off in tiny pieces?

Usually because it's calendered film, sun damaged, or both. Cast film is made to stay flexible and tends to peel away in larger sheets within its rated life. Calendered film is stiffer, and after years in the sun it can turn brittle and crack, so it flakes away a little at a time and leaves more adhesive behind.

How long does it take to remove a van wrap?

A full wrap typically takes about a day per van, and lettering or part graphics typically take a few hours. Sun-damaged or calendered film that breaks into small pieces can take considerably longer, as can heavy adhesive residue. We'll give you a typical time once we've seen photos of the film's condition.

What makes vehicle wrap and graphics removal more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Larne is £245–£795 per vehicle + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

What will the vehicle look like afterwards?

You'll get clean panels with the adhesive removed, showing the paint as it was under the film. Chips, scratches or dents that the graphics were hiding will be visible again, and some ghosting may show where the film's edges were. A valet or machine polish is usually the finishing step before a sale, lease return or re-wrap.

Do you work across County Antrim or only in Larne?

Across all of County Antrim, and the rest of the UK too. Larne 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.
