Caravan Repairs
We provide comprehensive repair services for all types of caravans and motorhomes, addressing structural issues, mechanical problems, and interior refurbishments. Our experienced technicians handle everything from minor fixes to complete restorations, using quality materials and techniques developed over our 65-year history. Customers benefit from our deep understanding of caravan construction and our commitment to returning vehicles to full working condition while maintaining their original character.
Motorhome Servicing
Our specialist motorhome servicing includes routine checks, mechanical inspections, and system upgrades performed by qualified technicians. We follow manufacturer guidelines while accommodating the unique needs of older models, ensuring safety and longevity. The service covers gas systems, electrical components, and habitation areas, with clear communication about any required repairs or maintenance schedules to keep vehicles roadworthy and safe.
Caravan Sales
We sell carefully restored pre-owned caravans that have undergone full structural resealing and mechanical refurbishment. Each unit comes with a 2-year warranty, reflecting our confidence in the quality of our workmanship. While stock varies, our focus remains on preparing vehicles to high standards rather than volume sales, ensuring buyers receive reliable, well-maintained units suited for immediate use.
Resealing Work
Our resealing service addresses common caravan issues through complete roof, window, and joint treatments using professional-grade materials. This prevents future water ingress and extends vehicle lifespan. The process involves thorough inspection, removal of damaged seals, and application of modern protective coatings, performed by technicians with decades of experience in caravan-specific waterproofing solutions.
Warranty Provision
Every caravan we sell includes a comprehensive 2-year warranty covering structural integrity and mechanical components. This warranty reflects our quality control processes and provides buyers with confidence in their purchase. The coverage includes repairs for issues arising from workmanship or materials, with clear terms explained at point of sale to ensure transparency and customer understanding.
