Builder & roofer van graphics.
A building job can last weeks. Every day your vehicles are parked there, the whole street is reading them.

A van that works as a site board.
Builders and roofers get more from a parked van than almost any other trade. An extension, loft conversion or re-roof keeps you at one address for weeks, and the neighbours walk past your vehicles every day. Many of the next jobs come from exactly those people.
Those customers want to know three things. Do you do the kind of work they need? Are you an established firm they can trust with a large sum of money? How do they get in touch? Your name, a short description such as “Extensions · Renovations · New builds” or “Pitched & flat roofing”, and a clear number and website answer all three.
Architects, surveyors and main contractors see your vehicles on site too. A consistent look across the van, pickup and site boards tells them you run an organised operation.
Vans, pickups and tippers.
Crew-cab vansTransit or Sprinter crew cabs carrying a team and its kit
Pickups & tippersHilux, Ranger, L200 and tipper trucks for materials and waste
Panel vansMedium and long-wheelbase vans with roof ladders and racks
Mixed vehicles need a design that adapts. A pickup has small door panels and a tailgate rather than one big flat side, so the same artwork has to be re-proportioned, not just copied across.
What goes where.
Layout
Designed for a mixed yard.
On a panel van we follow the familiar pattern: name on the bonnet, name and trade line on the sides, phone and website low down and on the rear doors. On a pickup or tipper the doors become the main sign, the tailgate carries the number, and a canopy or headboard can take a larger logo.
Van sidesName, logo and services
Pickup doorsName and a short trade line
Tailgate or rear doorsPhone and website
Canopy or headboardLarge logo
Roofers almost always run with ladders on the roof, so key lettering sits below the rack line. On crew cabs, the side windows break up the panel; we place the name on the solid section behind them.
From basic lettering to a full wrap.
Building firms often letter one van and later need the same look on a pickup or a second van. Start with a package and we keep the artwork for the next vehicle. These supply-and-fit prices are for vans fitted within 30 miles of the Norwich workshop; all are “from”, + VAT and confirmed by quote.

Up to three design ideas with a large logo or graphic on the rear quarters and rear, for a stronger presence on long jobs.
Part & full wraps ↗
Part or full coverage for a vehicle that carries your brand colours from every side. Quoted for your vehicle.
Pickups, tippers and crew cabs are quoted individually. For a matching scheme across several vehicles see vehicle livery, or fleet graphics for larger rollouts.
Practical points for building and roofing vehicles.
Dirt and damage. Site vehicles collect mud, dust and knocks. Graphics last best on sound paint, so tell us about dents or repairs, and wash by hand rather than blasting the vinyl edges with a pressure washer.
Site boards and banners. Your van and your site board are often seen together. We also make signage at the same workshop, so one set of artwork can cover boards, banners and vehicles.
Work on the highway. If your vehicles stop on or beside the highway, your client may ask for rear chevrons. Check the current guidance and your client’s requirements; our Chapter 8 guide explains the basics.
Accreditations. Trade associations and warranty schemes reassure customers spending large sums. Show only those you belong to, follow their logo rules and send the official files.
What to send us.
For a building firm, the more vehicles we see at the start, the better the scheme works across them:
- Make, model and year of every vehicle you want lettered now or later.
- Photographs of each one, showing ladders, racks, tailgates, canopies and crew-cab windows.
- Your logo in vector format if you have it.
- Wording: business name, trade line, phone, website and social handles.
- Accreditation and warranty-scheme logos in their official artwork.
- Any client requirements, such as chevrons or site identification.
A clear process. From start to finish.
Tell us about the van.
Send photographs of each vehicle with your logo and wording. If you also want site boards, mention it now so the artwork is planned once.
Approve the layout.
We lay the design out on your vehicle model so you can check spelling, sizes and positions before anything is produced.
Print and cut.
Graphics are printed on our 8-colour, 1440dpi printers or cut from in-stock coloured vinyl, using 3M and Metamark materials.
Fit and hand back.
We fit at the Norwich workshop on dates agreed around your jobs. Courtesy vehicles are available; ask when you book.
Your questions. Answered.
Can you do graphics on a pickup or tipper?
Yes. We fit graphics to pickups, tippers and dropsides as well as vans. The layout is planned around the doors, tailgate and any canopy or headboard, and these vehicles are priced by quote.
Can you match my van on a second vehicle later?
Yes. We keep your artwork, so a second van or pickup can carry the same design, resized for its panels. Send the make, model and photographs when you are ready.
Do I need chevrons on the back of my van?
Only certain work calls for them, typically on or beside the highway. Check the current guidance and your client’s requirements. If you do need them, we supply reflective chevron kits for most mainstream vehicles.
Will site dirt ruin the graphics?
Our 3M and Metamark van graphics will last up to 7 years if looked after correctly. Regular hand washing, and keeping pressure washers away from the edges, help on dusty sites.
Can you put the same logo on our site boards?
Yes. We also produce signage at our Norwich workshop, so site boards and banners can use the same approved artwork as the vehicles.
