Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my caravan?
Most experts recommend a service at least once every 12 months, or before major trips. This ensures seals, roofing, and exterior fittings remain watertight and functional. Caravans exposed to frequent use or harsh weather may need more frequent inspections to maintain safety and performance.
Can caravan servicing increase resale value?
Yes. A regularly serviced caravan is more attractive to buyers as it demonstrates proactive maintenance. Detailed service records and evidence of reseals or roof work provide reassurance that the van is structurally sound, reducing buyer hesitation and often leading to a higher resale price.
Why is resealing important in caravan servicing?
Over time, sealants degrade due to UV exposure and temperature changes. Resealing prevents leaks that can lead to rot, mould, and structural damage. It’s one of the most cost-effective preventative measures, protecting both the caravan’s framework and the comfort of travellers inside.
Travel Confidence
Comprehensive Care For Every Trip
Caravan servicing involves more than just checking for visible faults. Exterior inspections reveal small cracks or worn seals that could cause leaks, while roof maintenance identifies hail or storm-related damage before it worsens. Resealing windows, doors, hatches, and awnings prevents water ingress, which is one of the leading causes of structural deterioration.
These checks ensure your caravan remains watertight and structurally sound, which is critical for both comfort and safety. Industry-standard materials and sealants provide long-lasting protection, while regular upkeep supports better insulation and energy efficiency. A thorough service creates peace of mind, helping you prepare for your next holiday or long-distance trip with fewer surprises along the way.
Detailed Caravan Exterior Inspections
Exterior inspections involve checking cladding, joints, windows, hatches, and doors for signs of wear or leaks. Small cracks, gaps, or sealant failures are identified before they cause significant water ingress. Regular inspections reduce the likelihood of hidden damage and ensure the caravan remains weatherproof and reliable on the road.
Caravan Reseals & Waterproofing Services
Resealing involves removing worn or cracked sealants around openings such as windows, doors, and awnings. Caravan-grade sealants are applied to ensure flexibility and durability. This process is critical to preventing water ingress, which is the leading cause of mould, rot, and structural deterioration in caravans. Proper waterproofing extends the life of the vehicle.
Professional Caravan Roof Maintenance
Roof maintenance includes inspecting roof panels, skylights, vents, and hatches for cracks, hail dents, or degraded seals. Damaged panels may require resealing or replacement to prevent leaks. Regular roof upkeep ensures safety, improves insulation, and protects against costly structural repairs caused by water damage or long-term exposure to the elements.
