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.
Good reasons to look at vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Wellingborough
- Selling a personal car in Wellingborough after a colour-change wrap? Taking the film off reveals the factory colour and means the V5C can be changed back.
- After a business in Wellingborough changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.
- Several summers in an open yard in Wellingborough usually leave film sun-baked, brittle and slower to remove, so allow for more careful work.
What vehicle wrap and graphics removal costs in Wellingborough
Pricing for vehicle wrap and graphics removal is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £245 to £795 per vehicle + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.
| 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 Wellingborough: 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.
