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.
Where vehicle wrap and graphics removal can pay off in Prestonpans
- Buyers of used vans in Prestonpans and across Edinburgh and the Lothians often prefer a plain vehicle, so stripping old lettering can make a van easier to sell.
- Rebranding a Prestonpans 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 Prestonpans jobs send the wrong message, and taking them off is the first step to a fresh look.
What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Prestonpans
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For vehicle wrap and graphics removal the range is £245–£795 per vehicle, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check 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 Prestonpans: 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.
