Questions we get asked

No. Plenty of people come to us before they have bought anything, and that is often the better order to do it in. Tell us how you want to travel and we'll tell you which base vehicles suit it, what to look for and what to avoid. Buy the wrong van and even a perfect conversion will not fix it.

A conversion from our range takes between 4 and 8 weeks in the workshop once your slot comes round. Bespoke vans can take from 6 to 14 weeks depending on complexity and spec. We give you a start date and a target finish date in writing with the quote.

Atlas is our own range: one proven layout, built to three levels of specification. It is quicker, more affordable and lower risk because we have built it before. Bespoke means drawing a layout around your van from scratch, which is the right call when the range genuinely will not do what you need.

Our workshop is on Dunningsbridge Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, opposite McDonald's and two minutes from the end of the M58 and M57. Customers travel to us from across the UK, and we are happy to talk through logistics if you are coming a distance.

Yes, and we'd actually prefer you did. There are usually vans on the workshop floor at several stages, and often a finished one waiting for collection. Come and open the drawers, sit in the seats and see how the joinery is put together. Half an hour here tells you more than any spec sheet.

Each Atlas level has a starting price shown on its own page, so you can see roughly where you land before you speak to anyone. The final figure depends on your base vehicle and any changes to the standard spec. Fully bespoke builds typically start at around £30,000 for a smaller van and £45,000 for a larger van. They are quoted individually, and they typically cost more than a van in our range because everything is drawn from scratch.

Three stages, agreed in writing before anything starts:

• A £2,000 plus VAT deposit secures your build slot in our calendar (non-refundable)
• Four weeks before the build is due to start, an initial 60% payment
• The final 40%, less the £2,000 plus VAT deposit, on collection

Everything we design and fit:

• Design and layout drawings
• Sound deadening and full insulation
• Panelling, flooring and bespoke joinery
• 12V and 240V electrics, solar and leisure batteries
• Plumbing, sinks, hot water and showers
• Heating, roof lights, windows and pop-tops
• Full systems handover and documentation

If something is not in your quote, it is not in the build. There are no surprise line items later.

Yes, within reason. If you have a hob, fridge or heater you particularly want, tell us early and we will design around it. We will also say so if we think a part is not up to the job, because we are the ones warranting the work around it.

Yes, we take on one-off jobs such as windows, heaters, pop-tops and other upgrades. We're more selective about finishing a self-build, as the preparation and work already hidden behind the panels can affect what we can safely take on. Send us the details and some photos, and we'll let you know whether we can help.

Please do. Come and see the workshop before you commit, and again during the build by arrangement. You will also get photo updates as it progresses so you can see the stages you cannot be there for.

Our labour is warranted for 24 months from handover, covering the work we did on the van, and every appliance carries its own manufacturer warranty, between one and five years depending on the item. Because we built it, warranty work comes back to the people who know what is behind the panel.

Yes. We complete the conversion checks and provide the relevant safety certificates and documents at handover. You'll need to arrange suitable insurance for the converted van before collection. We can provide the build details if your insurer needs them.
