How do you clean wall graphics?

Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry. Avoid abrasive pads, solvent cleaners and scrubbing at edges. Laminated vinyl handles regular cleaning well, which is why it suits busy corridors, gyms and schools; wallpaper murals need a gentler touch.

What is the typical timescale for wall graphics and murals 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 Exeter.

Can you fit while the building is open?

Usually, yes. Vinyl fitting is quiet, low-odour and needs only a clear area by the wall, so offices and shops often stay open. For schools, busy receptions or large murals, the work can be scheduled for evenings, weekends or school holidays.

How soon after painting can graphics go up?

Not until the paint has cured, which takes longer than drying to the touch. Follow the paint maker's guidance; as a rough guide, allow at least a couple of weeks. Applied too soon, vinyl can trap solvents, causing bubbles or a weak bond.

Will the location in Exeter affect the cost of wall graphics and murals?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £38–£82 per m² + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Exeter are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Do you work across Devon or only in Exeter?

Across all of Devon, and the rest of the UK too. Exeter 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.

Wall graphics and murals in Exeter: permission and rules

Graphics on interior walls usually fall outside advertisement control, so planning consent is rarely the question indoors. The checks are fire performance in escape routes, your lease, and listed status: listed building consent covers interiors too, so ask the council before fixing to historic surfaces. A branded graphic on an outside wall is normally treated as an advertisement; in England it falls under the 2007 regulations, and large graphics may need express consent. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules. If consent is needed, we can prepare the drawings and photos or submit the application for you.
