The build journey

Seven stages from the first conversation to the day you drive it away, and what happens at each one. The first stage costs nothing and carries no obligation either way.

1. 01

   The conversation

   Free, and no obligation either way.

   We talk through how you travel, who travels with you, how long you go for and what you have never wanted to be without. Come to the workshop if you can: you will see vans on the floor at every stage, which tells you more about a builder than any website.

   • In person at the workshop, or a call
   • See current builds in progress
   • Honest guidance on which level fits

   

2. 02

   The van

   Get this right and everything else is easier.

   The right van depends on the conversion you choose, the space you need and how you'll use it. If you already own a van, we'll check its suitability. If you're still looking, we'll help you narrow down the options and advise what to look for, what to pay and what to walk away from.

   • Own it already, or buying now
   • Sourcing advice before you spend
   • SWB or LWB, priced separately
3. 03

   Specification and quote

   Know what's included before you commit.

   We'll work through the layout, equipment, finishes and any extras with you to agree the specification for your van. You'll receive an itemised quote, with the conversion and any vehicle purchase priced separately. We'll talk it through together so you're clear on the details before booking your build.

   • Agreed specification and floorplan confirmed
   • Optional extras clearly priced
   • A deposit secures your build slot

   

4. 04

   The build

   See your van take shape.

   With the specification agreed, our team get to work, bringing together the systems, equipment and cabinetry that make your van ready for life on the road. We keep you updated with photos and videos as the build progresses. You're welcome to arrange a visit and see it coming together.

   • Build timescale agreed before work starts
   • Photo updates as your build progresses
   • Workshop visits by arrangement

   

5. 05

   Certification

   The paperwork that makes it safe and legal.

   Every van is signed off before it leaves: gas, electrics and weight all certified, alarms and an extinguisher fitted, and the DVLA reclassification paperwork prepared so you can register and insure it as a campervan rather than a panel van.

   • Gas Safe certificate
   • Electrical installation certificate
   • Weighbridge certificate and DVLA paperwork
6. 06

   Handover

   Ready for your first trip.

   We take the time to show you how everything works, from filling the water tank to using the heating and electrics. You'll leave with your manuals, certificates and our care guides to refer back to. There's plenty of time for questions, and if something slips your mind once you're home, we're here to help.

   • Full systems walkthrough
   • Appliance manuals and certificates
   • Winter care and vehicle guides

   Afterwards

   A 24-month warranty, and the same phone number.

   Our labour is warranted for 24 months and the appliances carry their manufacturers' cover, one to five years. We are the people who built it, so when you call about it you are talking to someone who knows exactly what is behind the panel.

   • 24-month labour warranty
   • Appliance warranties
   • Servicing and upgrades later on
