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.

How do I get a quote for vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Andover?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Is there a guide price for vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Andover?

Yes: £245–£795 per vehicle + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

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.

What is the typical timescale for vehicle wrap and graphics removal from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Andover.

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.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Andover

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.

Reasons to choose vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Andover

Vans leaving an Andover business at the end of a lease usually need to go back clean, so book removal well ahead of the collection date.

What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Andover

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.

Vehicle wrap & graphics removal in Andover: 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 Andover: 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.
