Gloved hands peeling old vinyl wrap off a van with a heat gun

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 Bonnyrigg

  • Several summers in an open yard in Bonnyrigg usually leave film sun-baked, brittle and slower to remove, so allow for more careful work.
  • Faded, cracked graphics on a van parked at Bonnyrigg jobs send the wrong message, and taking them off is the first step to a fresh look.
  • After a business in Bonnyrigg changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.

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 Bonnyrigg: 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 Bonnyrigg: questions

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.

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.

Do you cover smaller places near Bonnyrigg as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Bonnyrigg itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Edinburgh and the Lothians are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

Is there a typical lead time for vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Bonnyrigg?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

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

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.
