Vehicle wrapping in Surrey, from our own unit in Caterham
We're a Surrey business. The unit is at 153 Croydon Road, Caterham, CR3 6PF, in the Tandridge district on the eastern edge of the county, and most of the cars, vans and fleets we wrap come from within thirty miles of it. We've been here over 18 years, we're a 3M Select Gold Partner, and everything is fitted indoors.
This page is for Surrey owners and businesses working out whether it's worth the drive. Short answer: it depends where you are and what you want, so here's the long answer.
“Like us they love a ridiculous brief that needs to be completed yesterday, allowing their creative juices to run wild. We honestly couldn’t find a better partner when it comes to vehicle wrapping and signage.”
James, Shred & ButtaEast Surrey (Oxted, Godstone, Warlingham, Lingfield, Caterham itself): ten to fifteen minutes. We're the local wrapper.
Reigate, Redhill, Merstham, Horley: twenty to twenty-five minutes along the A25 and A22, or M25 junction 8 to junction 6. Redhill's trades and Gatwick-area businesses are regulars.
Epsom, Banstead, Tadworth, Leatherhead: twenty-five to thirty-five minutes via the M25 or the A217 and A25.
Dorking, Guildford, Woking, Cobham, Weybridge: forty minutes to an hour on the M25 or A25. Worth it for a colour change, PPF or a fleet, less so for a single set of sign writing unless you're passing.
Camberley, Farnham, Haslemere: an hour plus. We see cars for colour change and PPF from this end of the county, and fleets that want 3M Gold status.
By train, Caterham station is the end of the line from London via East Croydon, so it's better for London than for the rest of Surrey. Drop the vehicle and we'll sort a lift to the station.
What Surrey businesses bring us
Surrey's economy is trades and services with vans, professional firms with company cars, and a lot of logistics near the M25 and Gatwick. That shows in what comes through the door:
from Reigate, Redhill, Oxted and Epsom: plumbers, electricians, heating, roofing, landscaping. Usually sign writing or a partial wrap.
wanting one livery across mixed vans and cars.
needing Chapter 8 conforming chevrons alongside branding. Phoenix Scaffolding are one.
around Gatwick, Redhill and the M23 corridor: lorry cabs, curtainsiders and box trailers.
across the county.
Why Surrey clients choose us over the nearer sign shop
Honestly, sometimes the nearer sign shop is the right call for a set of lettering. When it isn't:
The film.
We're a 3M Select Gold Partner and we fit 3M and Avery cast films with the manufacturer's warranty. Most local sign shops fit whatever's cheapest that week.

The unit.
Indoor, temperature-controlled, big enough for a coach. Wraps fitted in a yard in January fail earlier. We won't do that.

The second look.
Cars stay overnight where the film needs it and get a second-day inspection. Nothing leaves with a lifting edge.

The fleet side.
Panel maps, templates, an account manager who answers out of hours. Surrey fleets that add a van every quarter get the same van every quarter.

The details, in order
Colour changes and PPF, mostly. The county has a lot of performance and prestige cars, a lot of new cars on lease, and a lot of people who'd rather not have a black bonnet full of stone chips from the A3. Satin colour changes on German saloons and SUVs, chrome deletes on Range Rovers and Teslas, and front-end PPF on new deliveries are the weekly rhythm. The Nissan GTR in our reviews came from Surrey.
The A3, A23, M25 and M23 are the arteries, and they're why front-end PPF is such a common request from Surrey car owners: fast dual carriageway, lorries throwing grit, and a new car's bonnet peppered inside a year. For vans, it's the opposite problem: rural lanes, hedges and site tracks scuffing the sides. Both are arguments for film, and both are things we'll factor into a recommendation. A Surrey van that spends its life on farm tracks gets a laminate with more scratch resistance; a Surrey car that commutes on the A3 gets the bonnet and wings covered first.
Surrey County Council's highways contractors, utility firms and traffic management companies all need Chapter 8 conforming rear markings on vehicles that stop on the road. It's a specific reflective material and a specific layout, not a design choice. We fit it, we know the spec, and we'll tell you whether your vehicle needs full chevrons or a lighter marking.

If your town isn't here, it's probably still within range: call and ask. for Croydon and the London border.
Questions people ask before they call
153 Croydon Road, Caterham, CR3 6PF. On the A22, just south of the Croydon border, ten minutes from M25 junction 6 at Godstone.
No. Everything is fitted indoors at Caterham. That's how the finish is consistent and how we keep 3M Gold status. We'll help with drop-off logistics.
The same as it costs at our unit for anyone. Every job is quoted individually and itemised, so you can compare it fairly.
Vehicles come to us, so the question is how far you'll send them. Surrey fleets send vans from Guildford and Woking; hauliers send trailers from the M23 corridor. We schedule to minimise the trips.
Yes. Caterham station is a short walk; it runs via Purley and East Croydon. We'll drop you at the station.
Yes. Crawley, Gatwick, East Grinstead, Sevenoaks and Westerham are all within half an hour.
