As caravans are built using flexible structures to tolerate road vibrations and temperature changes, over time the joints subjected to stresses naturally begin to age and come apart, which can create openings for water to pass through into the caravan.

One of the most common reasons for dampness in caravans is age, as many of the sealants used at the time of manufacture, can over time harden and crack, leading to seals breaking down and water penetration. Therefore, it is recommended you regularly check any areas that may require reseating, such as aluminium rails and window hinges.

Water that does make it into the caravan will soon penetrate woodwork causing dampness, that could eventually lead to rot and delamination of the panels.

We are specialists in damp repair work and follow a well-proven investigation and repair process to ensure water ingress site(s) are correctly identified, any damage caused is repaired to the highest standard using quality materials and the repairs are subject to extensive testing on completion.

Prevention is much less expensive than cure of course, so we recommend you have an annual service and inspection. If you are looking for a caravan damp repair service in Berkshire and the surrounding counties, get in touch with us today.
