FAQ Section:
Q: Can you service my caravan or motorhome at my home?
A: Yes, absolutely. That's our whole approach, mobile convenience. We come to your driveway, garden, or wherever you keep your vehicle. No need to hitch, tow, or visit a workshop. We'll arrange a date and time that works around your schedule.
Q: Do you come to holiday parks and caravan sites?
A: Yes. If you're on holiday or at a park site and need urgent repairs or a planned service, we can arrange a visit with the site's permission. Many holiday parks actually recommend mobile engineers to avoid disruption to other guests.
Q: What exactly is included in a habitation check?
A: A habitation check is a thorough inspection of your leisure vehicle's living area. It includes testing of gas appliances and systems, electrical systems (12V and 230V), water system operation, damp inspection with a detailed report, smoke alarms and fire safety equipment, window and door seals, ventilation, roof lights, and visual inspection of the bodywork. You'll receive a full report and a habitation certificate.
Q: How much does a habitation check cost?
A: A standard habitation check typically costs between £150–£250, depending on your vehicle type and location. The final price includes parts if minor adjustments are needed on the spot. We'll always give you a clear quote before we start. Email or call for a specific estimate for your vehicle.
Q: Do I need a gas safety certificate for my caravan?
Q: It depends on how you use your vehicle. If you rent out or let your static or touring caravan to paying guests, you are legally required to have a valid annual gas safety certificate issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If it's for personal use only, it's not a legal requirement, but it's strongly recommended for safety and peace of mind. Most holiday parks also require a valid certificate before you can connect to their services.
Q: What's the difference between a habitation check and a gas safety check?
A: A habitation check is a comprehensive inspection of all your leisure vehicle's living systems - gas, electrical, water, damp, and safety equipment. A gas safety check focuses specifically on your gas appliances and pipework to ensure they're operating safely and free from leaks. You can book either service independently, though many owners combine them for complete peace of mind.
Q: What is a damp inspection and why is it important?
A: A damp inspection uses specialist equipment to detect water ingress and dampness in your leisure vehicle's structure. Early detection is crucial - damp left untreated can lead to mould, rot, and structural damage that costs thousands to repair. Our damp reports include a detailed assessment and recommendations for repairs. Damp inspections typically cost £50–£85 and can save you thousands in the long run.
Q: Can you service static caravans?
A: Yes. We specialise in static caravan servicing, including habitation checks, gas safety certificates, damp inspections, roof repairs, and general maintenance. Whether your static is on a holiday park, residential park, or your own land, we can arrange a visit.
Q: Can you repair roof leaks and damage?
A: Yes. Caravan roof damage is common and urgent - even small leaks can cause serious water ingress. We repair cracked seals, reposition loose fittings, patch small leaks, and recommend full roof replacements when necessary. We can also carry out insurance-approved roof repairs. Contact us for an assessment.
Q: Can you install solar panels on my motorhome or caravan?
A: Yes. We supply and fit solar panel kits for motorhomes, caravans, and campervans. Systems range from basic 100W setups (ideal for topping up your leisure battery while parked) to larger 400W+ systems for serious off-grid users. Installation typically takes 5–6 hours. Costs vary based on the system size; call for a quote tailored to your power needs.
Q: Can you service park homes and static residential caravans?
A: Yes. Park homes have specialised servicing needs—external insulation, internal systems, and compliance checks. We carry out habitation checks, gas safety certificates, and maintenance on all residential park home types. Contact us with your location and requirements.
Q: Can you service trailer tents and folding campers?
A: Yes. Trailer tents and folding campers need annual servicing of their running gear (brakes, lights, tyres), habitation systems (gas, electrical, water), and structural checks for damp. We're equipped to service all folding camper types and can arrange repairs at your location.
Q: Do you service canal boats and narrowboats?
A: Yes. We provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance services for canal boats. Services include engine checks, heating system maintenance, and electrical repairs. Call to discuss your boat's specific needs.
Q: What's your typical response time for urgent repairs?
A: For urgent issues (gas leaks, heating failures, water damage, electrical faults) during opening hours, we aim to arrange a same-day call-out. Call 0300 124 6982 directly to discuss your emergency. For non-urgent repairs and routine services, we typically book within 1–2 weeks depending on demand.
Q: What areas do you cover exactly?
A: We cover North West England and North Wales, including Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Warrington, Wrexham, Stockport, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Conwy, Gwynedd, Anglesey, and all surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, email or call with your postcode and we'll confirm immediately.
Q: Do you offer 24/7 emergency repairs?
A: During our standard opening hours (Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–5:30 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM), we aim to handle urgent call-outs same-day. For emergencies outside these hours, email us or leave a message and we'll respond as soon as possible. For life-threatening emergencies (gas smell, carbon monoxide alarm), contact the emergency services immediately.
Q: Are your engineers fully qualified and accredited?
A: Yes. All our engineers are certified in caravan and motorhome servicing, with qualifications in gas systems, electrical systems, and habitation maintenance. We comply with industry standards and can provide references and proof of qualifications upon request. Contact us to ask about specific certifications relevant to your vehicle.
Q: How long does a typical service or habitation check take?
A: A standard habitation check usually takes 3–4 hours depending on your vehicle size and condition. Specialised repairs (damp work, roof repairs, solar installation) may take longer. We'll always give you a timeframe when we book your appointment, and we won't leave until the job is done properly, no rushed work.
Q: Can you fit awnings and other accessories?
A: Yes. We supply and fit caravan awnings, solar panels, underslung tanks, and other leisure vehicle accessories. Contact us with details of what you'd like installed and we'll provide a quote.
Q: Can you do pre-purchase inspections and help with insurance claims?
A: Yes to both. We carry out pre-purchase inspections on used leisure vehicles, giving you a detailed report before you commit to a purchase. We're also approved to handle insurance-authorised repairs and can liaise directly with insurers to simplify the claims process.
