best thing i ever done, ive received a number of jobs, conny roofs, gutter clearance, new regular customers etc etc

i think you do need to make it look professional though, and it needs to stand out, you see a lot of vans around that look really pikey

you dont need to pay the earth either, if you've got a bit of an imagination & dont mind putting it on yourself which is really easy, you can design your own, i did, i used   http://www.thesignbuilder.co.uk/  i have a swb transit & for both sides + back n front for £129 inclusive



it helps to have a nice clean van as well.

also if you haven't got already, consider getting some uniform printed, that gives a good impression to, again you dont have to pay the earth, i used to spend a lot on getting  tee-shirts & sweatshirts printed. but now i just where a printed hi-viz vest over whatever i am wearing costs less than a fiver inc print off ebay

definitely go for it

Lots of walk ups when doing soffit fascia gutter work, or ' I've just seen your van...' type calls to the office - never underestimate the power of advertising your van!!

If there was a LIKE button on here, consider it pressed. Very nice, clean set up by the looks.

Can't think of any reason not to. Customers trust you more if they can see your number displayed etc. I suppose if you like waving your fist at other drivers or flicking the bird then maybe don't do it.

One possible down side. Insurance company's ask you if its written up. Don't know what difference it makes

I heard insurance hoes down as the van is less likely to be stolen, seen as it's got your details all over it, it puts car thiefs off...?

just do it mate.ive picked up some good paying jobs through "i seen your van and wondered if you can do my windows/conny/fascia/soffits "etc.

and as dave said with a nice,clean sign written van people trust you more esp when you clean in more affluent/posher areas. :)
price higher/work harder!

If i was to have sign writing it would look like yours david@kent clean.
Looks miles more proffesional with a nice simple font like that without the look at me graphics stateing every single thing that can be cleaned making you look desperate for work.
Imo sometimes little is more.
