Absolutely wonderful service, care above and beyond. James and his team did work to the highest standard at a fair price. He also carried out an inspection on below standard work installed by another tradesman which gave light to numerous issues and risk of serious electrical fire. I felt confident in the work and the services offered. The duty of care exceeded my expectations and I feel confident and comfortable to use the equipment installed for my van conversion. Thank you James. Really grateful for your work and support in rectifying losses from previous below standard works through small claims court. I’ll be back and will definitely be recommending your services!
Eloise SchwerdtWe went to James with our Ford Transit Jumbo panel van and gave him a big job to do. We wanted the van fully kitted out to be able to go off grid camping and also have custom fit needs for a motocross bike. James listened to our needs and created something even more perfect than we could have wished for. Nothing was too much of an ask and James has been great with any tweaks and adjustment we wanted since. Would highly recommend if you’re wanting something bespoke!
Emily BrocklehurstJames took on our dream to convert our Ford Transit into a luxury camper. He is trustworthy, very talented, listens well and has solutions and suggestions which deliver. He continues to support us and offer advise to enable us to get the most out of our Van.
JoJames made an excellent job of converting our panel van into a kombi van that we use for family days out, camping and for general day to day use. He fitted side and rear windows, a carpeted floor with kombi seats and an electric hook up with leisure battery. He later fitted a pop top with bed, swivel passenger seat and he fully insulated and lined the van and added spotlights. He even fitted my curtains for me. He had some great ideas and suggestions for suppliers and products. James was always contactable and happy to answer questions. He even came out to our house to sort out a problem on his weekend off. Thanks James!
Emma Causon-WoodJames did a fantastic job for us. Right from the initial design stage we had a budget to work to and he delivered to a really high standard even tho he came up against delays. Overall we were really happy with our dream van and we have had loads of adventures trouble free. There is no other company in the area that comes close to him. Thanks again!!

"We originally approached James to convert a Nissan but were quickly enamoured by a VW conversion so I bought a fairly new builder's van which he then converted to a camper van. All insulation, lighting, pop top, swivel seat and windows were put in with an amazing wooden interior fitting in a double bed, u-shaped seating area and table, sink, worktop and shelf, hob grill and even a loo! Great service"
"Excellent service...really knowledgeable team that put themselves out to sort my vans electrics so I could go on holiday! I will be using them from now on when I need work done. 10/10 from us"
