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.
Points in favour of vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Christchurch
- After a business in Christchurch changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.
- When a Christchurch firm takes on a contract with different branding rules, old graphics can come off and new livery go on as one planned job.
- Several summers in an open yard in Christchurch usually leave film sun-baked, brittle and slower to remove, so allow for more careful work.
What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Christchurch
Budgeting for vehicle wrap and graphics removal? The guide below runs from £245 to £795 per vehicle. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking the artwork.
| 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 Christchurch: 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.
