Being seen keeps people safe. When needed we design, make and fit Chapter 8 rear chevrons, conspicuity/contour tapes (ECE 104) and emergency liveries that meet the practical requirements for vehicles working on or near live roads. If you’re not sure what you need, just tell us how and where the vehicle is used and we’ll specify the right film, pattern and coverage. We supply and fit pre-cut kits for most vans, pickups, plant and HGVs, and we can create one-off templates in-house when no off-the-shelf kit exists. From highways maintenance to ambulance and other blue-light support (where authorised), we produce clean, compliant installs that last.

FAQs
Do I legally need Chapter 8?
Chapter 8 is guidance, but many highway/utility contracts require it. It also supports your duty of care and reduces risk when stopping on live roads.
Reflective vs fluorescent, what’s the difference?
Reflective = bright at night under headlights. Fluorescent = extra visible in daylight/low light. Chevrons typically use both.
Can you do magnetic chevrons?
Yes providing your doors are steel and fairly flat. For aluminium/plastic or curved panels, we recommend removable vinyl panels or rigid plates fixed to existing points
How long will it last?
Typical reflective films offer 3–5 years depending on use; fluorescent pigments weather faster. We’ll match the film grade to your required lifespan.
I can’t find a kit for my model can you still help?
Yes. We template and produce one-off kits in-house.
