Getting rot repaired in Static Caravans in the North West




Static caravans provide the perfect retreat, allowing us to enjoy the comforts of home in picturesque locations. However, over time, issues such as rot can arise, jeopardising the structural integrity and enjoyment of our beloved holiday homes. In this blog post, we share a recent repair where we visited a static caravan in Blackburn that suffered from rot on the floor due to a leak. Discover how our expert repair team fully restored the static caravan, enabling the owners to enjoy their static home once again with minimal disruption.




Identifying the Issue - Upon receiving a call from the concerned owners, we immediately recognised the urgency of addressing the rot issue. As seen in the provided picture, the floor had been severely affected by water damage, leading to weakened timber and compromised stability including the cross members. Under your static caravan there is usually a waterproof membrane. in this case, this acted as a water trap in the wrong way and allowed water from above to pool and saturate the wood. After a thorough inspection, we determined that the cause of the rot was a leak originating from a higher point in the caravan's structure.




Assessing the scope of repair - Our experienced team meticulously evaluated the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive repair plan. Not only was the floor affected, but we also identified some signs of moisture-related damage on the walls. It was essential to address both the visible and underlying issues to prevent further deterioration and ensure the long-term durability of the static caravan.




The repair process - To commence the repair process, we began by addressing the source of the leak. Our skilled technicians carefully examined the caravan's plumbing and sealing systems, resolving the issue to prevent any future water ingress. With the source of the problem fixed, we moved on to the rot repair itself.

Our team diligently replaced the rotten flooring, ensuring a seamless transition between the old and new materials.
