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.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Portadown: the practical benefits

  • Selling a personal car in Portadown after a colour-change wrap? Taking the film off reveals the factory colour and means the V5C can be changed back.
  • Vans leaving a Portadown business at the end of a lease usually need to go back clean, so book removal well ahead of the collection date.
  • After a business in Portadown changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.

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 Portadown: 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 Portadown: questions

Do you work across County Armagh or only in Portadown?

Across all of County Armagh, and the rest of the UK too. Portadown 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.

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.

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.

What can delay vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Portadown?

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.

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 Portadown is £245–£795 per vehicle + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

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.
