plant
Removable, fast, reliable.
Extreme Signs specialise in plant and vehicle signwriting.
We work with plant management & plant companies, sales, and independent clients for branding and marking plant vehicles.
Maximum quality, minimal time
-
Fast
We know it’s going to be last-minute or time-sensitive and we’re ready for it.
Keeping in close contact with logistics/suppliers we operate a rapid turn around on all plant livery.
-
Removable
We only use our own trusted removable vinyl for applications.
When de-fleeting your plant, any branding/markings can be removed without damage, minimising remedial repairs.
Generally 8-10 year rated materials are used to ensure durability and maximum lifespan.
-
Repairs
Accidents happen, we keep a record of all plant livery, allowing for seamless repairs.
We’ll even work with your chosen repairer to put your vehicle back to work asap!
Signage and branding Designed, manufactured, and installed by our in-house team
Keeping the whole process united means we work together to turn around plant livery in the tightest of time-frames.
Or we offer an ‘install only’ service if required, ship us your kits and we’ll install them on your new vehicles.
-
Yes. Depending on the time of year you will likely need to warm the material whilst removing.
We’re trusted by fleet and plant resellers & leasing agents to provide safe to surface promotional materials
-
Up to 10 years. Depending on materials, application and requirements.
-
Yes we can. A short term removable material can be used for minimal residue/effort when removing.
Magnetics can be tailored to panels - to give the appearance of a written vehicle, these will not work on aluminium panels.
-
Yes! A lot.
Wrap can work as a protective measure, acting as a barrier against light scratches etc.
For example wrap is around 2 thirds of the cost of paint. (but can be removed when you are done 👍)
-
Eventually all print will fade. By using a UV rated laminate, we maximise its lifetime and protect the print from scratches.
Expect printed branding to last 5-7 years before noticable fading.
-
Yes.
We offer a 1-3 year warranty on all “Fleet”/”Long Term Vehicle Signage”.
Material manufacturers rate the vinyls longer, but with conditions exclusions attached.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Extreme Signs are based on Calmore Industrial Estate in Totton, a couple minutes off the M27.
Most signwriting and wrap takes place at our workshop, but we do work with trade partners such as dealerships to complete your branding before the vehicle is collected.
-
Prices range from £50 to £4500. And everywhere in between.
At the bottom end you would be looking at a simple name/logo on the cab doors, and at the top end are printed wraps.
-
Yes. Magnetics are a great solution for temporary marking. Shaped or tailored magnetic signs are available.
But for a permanent application you should opt for conventional signage as 'magnetics' are not designed to be left on paintwork.
-
Yes we can, Extreme charge £50/hour to remove signage/wrap (including glue removal). Estimates can be provided before we begin.
Removing a vinyl wrap or lettering is easy: You just need to warm the vinyl and peel. Its not a quick process, but does not need to be carried out by professionals.
In spring, summer and autumn months the sun will warm the vinyl enough to remove, but in the winter you will need to warm the area with either a heat gun, hair dryer, or by pouring hot (not boiling) water over it.
Its important not to overheat the material as this will boil the wrap and 'cook' the adhesive. Just warm enough to feel 'hot' with your hand.
-
Wrap is the process of totally covering a vehicle, or parts of a vehicle in vinyl. Vehicle graphics can be a number of things, but primarily cut vinyl shapes, logos or designs applied to the paintwork.
-
Yes! You'll want to use a removable vinyl, and ideally a design that'll avoid ghosting after removal.
All our fleet/van-sign materials are manufactured with removable adhesive and regularly work with fleet leasing agents/dealerships throughout the south to service their customers.
-
It all depends on the nature of your work. If you are working on the highway, you'll need chapter-8 markings (visit our dedicated page for more info).
But if you are simply working from your van its unlikely you will need reflective markings.
-
Extreme know you need your van, we want to minimise the time its off the road as much as possible.
For conventional signwriting and part wraps we can complete in a matter of hours.
For colour change wraps we ask for the vehicle to be left at our Southampton workshop for 5 working days, but often the work is completed within 4.
-
Less is always more when you're driving down the M27 or stuck on the A34. To ensure your signage works the headlines must be clear: Company name, Headline service and web address. Other information you may like to display include accreditations, telephone numbers and sub-services. Though most interested customers will head over to your website for more information.

If your a Tree Surgeon in new forest, Surveyor from Portsmouth, or a Recovery Agent from Hythe Chapter-8 markings may also be required to work on the highway. Our in-house design team can help create a 'moving billboard' that works for you.
