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 Streatham

  • Faded, cracked graphics on a van parked at Streatham jobs send the wrong message, and taking them off is the first step to a fresh look.
  • Vans leaving a Streatham business at the end of a lease usually need to go back clean, so book removal well ahead of the collection date.
  • Rebranding a Streatham business means the old name and number have to come off every vehicle before the new livery goes on.

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 Streatham: 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 Streatham: questions

How long does it take to get vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Streatham?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to 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 Streatham is £245–£795 per vehicle + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

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 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.

Is Streatham inside your coverage area for vehicle wrap and graphics removal?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Streatham and every part of Greater London are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

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.
