Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Haddington?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

Can I get a fixed price for vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Haddington before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £245 to £795 per vehicle excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

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.

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.

Do you work across Edinburgh and the Lothians or only in Haddington?

Across all of Edinburgh and the Lothians, and the rest of the UK too. Haddington 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.

What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Haddington

The table shows guide prices for vehicle wrap and graphics removal, starting from £245 and reaching about £795 per vehicle. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.

Vehicle wrap & graphics removal in Haddington: guide prices, supplied and fitted
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 Haddington: 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.
