Services
Caravans, like motorhomes are often made in relatively small numbers by small, often bespoke coachbuilders. This means that replacement parts can sometimes be hard to source. Here at Royton Car and Commercial we have the skills to return your caravan to its pre-accident condition. With our skilled technicians specialising in carpentry, sheet metalwork, paint spraying and graphics we are able to repair damage that most other companies would insist had replacement panels, therefore saving you time and money.

Our services include:

Repairs to all makes of caravan
Floor and panel delamination
Free estimates and advice
Insurance approved workshop
Collection and delivery service
All damp and structural work undertaken

Damp
Damp is unseen, progressive and if left untreated will almost certainly destroy your caravan before you even know it is there. Annual inspections using a damp metre may reveal areas of your caravan, which require resealing. Our recommendations would be to have the mouldings and trims removed, trims cleaned and degreased then re-secured to the caravan with new modern sealants. This procedure will stop the water ingress to your caravan. However the moisture, which has already penetrated into the framework, is encapsulated within. General heating to the affected area along with the use of a de-humidifier will certainly help to reduce the present moisture levels, thereby reducing the chances of decay in the future.

Remedial Work
If Remedial work is required, your caravan may not need to be completely stripped down unless interior wallboards indicate staining, pimpling or softness due to the ingress of damp. The remedial work required to put your caravan back to near original condition is quite a time consuming job. It requires removal of furniture and fittings, external mouldings, trims, windows and exterior panels, the removal of decayed wallboards and timber frame plus the drying out of insulation and damp framework. Before rebuilding work can commence the areas will require further checking with a damp metre. Once the correct readings are evident, the fitting and re-bonding of new internal wallboards, refitting furniture and fittings, together with the necessary resealing can be carried out.
