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.

What you gain from vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Peckham

  • After a business in Peckham changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.
  • Faded, cracked graphics on a van parked at Peckham jobs send the wrong message, and taking them off is the first step to a fresh look.

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.

Options for your Peckham project

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Peckham: 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 Peckham: questions

What can delay vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Peckham?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

How long does it take to remove a van wrap?

A full wrap typically takes about a day per van, and lettering or part graphics typically take a few hours. Sun-damaged or calendered film that breaks into small pieces can take considerably longer, as can heavy adhesive residue. We'll give you a typical time once we've seen photos of the film's condition.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work on vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Peckham?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

Can I get a fixed price for vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Peckham 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.
