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 Bordon?

  • Rebranding a Bordon business means the old name and number have to come off every vehicle before the new livery goes on.
  • When a Bordon firm takes on a contract with different branding rules, old graphics can come off and new livery go on as one planned job.
  • Selling a personal car in Bordon after a colour-change wrap? Taking the film off reveals the factory colour and means the V5C can be changed back.

What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Bordon

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 Bordon: 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 Bordon: questions

What can delay vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Bordon?

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.

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.

Do you work across Hampshire or only in Bordon?

Across all of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK too. Bordon is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

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.

How much should I budget for vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Bordon?

As a guide, £245–£795 per vehicle + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.
