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.

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.

Do you work across Northamptonshire or only in Northampton?

Across all of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK too. Northampton 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.

Can removal be done at our premises?

Usually, if there's a dry, covered space with room to work around the vehicle and power for the heat gun. Removal in cold, damp conditions is slower because the film and adhesive stay stiff. For a fleet, doing several vehicles in one visit at your site is often the simplest approach.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on vehicle wrap and graphics removal happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Northampton once materials are ordered.

What is the price of vehicle wrap and graphics removal for a business in Northampton?

Guide pricing runs from £245 to £795 per vehicle, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Northamptonshire

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 in Northamptonshire?

Several summers in an open yard in Northampton usually leave film sun-baked, brittle and slower to remove, so allow for more careful work.
Selling a personal car in Northampton after a colour-change wrap? Taking the film off reveals the factory colour and means the V5C can be changed back.
Vans leaving a Northampton business at the end of a lease usually need to go back clean, so book removal well ahead of the collection date.

Guide prices in Northamptonshire

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 Northamptonshire: 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 Northamptonshire: 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.
