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.
Practical reasons to consider vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Brighton
- Rebranding a Brighton business means the old name and number have to come off every vehicle before the new livery goes on.
- Faded, cracked graphics on a van parked at Brighton jobs send the wrong message, and taking them off is the first step to a fresh look.
- After a business in Brighton changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.
What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Brighton
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.
| 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 Brighton: 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.
