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.

Why choose vehicle wrap and graphics removal for a business in Tewkesbury?

  • Buyers of used vans in Tewkesbury and across Gloucestershire often prefer a plain vehicle, so stripping old lettering can make a van easier to sell.
  • After a business in Tewkesbury changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.
  • When a Tewkesbury firm takes on a contract with different branding rules, old graphics can come off and new livery go on as one planned job.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Tewkesbury: 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 Tewkesbury: questions

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.

Does the price of vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Tewkesbury include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £245–£795 per vehicle excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

What will the vehicle look like afterwards?

You'll get clean panels with the adhesive removed, showing the paint as it was under the film. Chips, scratches or dents that the graphics were hiding will be visible again, and some ghosting may show where the film's edges were. A valet or machine polish is usually the finishing step before a sale, lease return or re-wrap.

Will someone visit my premises in Tewkesbury before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

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

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.

Can you remove lettering but leave the wrap underneath?

Often, yes. Cut lettering applied on top of a wrap can usually be warmed and peeled off without lifting the wrap, as long as both are in sound condition. The wrap under the lettering will have been shaded from the sun, so a faint outline may show; new lettering placed in the same spot usually hides it.
