We carry out professional caravan damp repair work with care and precision, ensuring your vehicle stays dry and safe.
Cost to repair damp
Catching damp early is the key to keeping repair costs under control. Regular caravan damp checks help identify issues before they spread, often saving you hundreds – or even thousands – of pounds in repair work.
If left unchecked, damp can quickly damage walls, floors and ceilings, leading to extensive structural repairs that can run into the thousands. That’s why routine damp inspections are essential for every caravan owner.
At Silverstone Motorhome and Caravan Servicing, all damp repairs are carried out by qualified technicians using professional-grade materials. Every caravan damp repair we complete is backed by a warranty, giving you total confidence that your vehicle is safe, dry, and built to last.
Spotting damp in your caravan
Finding damp in your caravan doesn’t need to be a major worry – especially if it’s discovered early. Acting quickly is the best way to minimise damage and repair costs.
Damp can be tricky to trace because water doesn’t always stay where it enters; it can travel sideways, upwards, or even rise from beneath the floor. This is why identifying the exact source of the problem often requires professional assessment.
The most common warning sign of caravan damp is a musty smell, similar to a damp towel that’s been left too long in a cupboard. Other indicators include bubbling or ‘pimples’ on the wall or ceiling panels, patches of discolouration, or soft spots that give way when pressed. Spotting these early can make all the difference in preventing long-term structural damage.
The process to repair damp
Externally, we begin by removing any old sealant and parts to thoroughly inspect the affected area. After repairing any identified damage, we replace the parts and reseal everything to a high, professional standard, ensuring lasting protection.
Internally, we clear out obstructive elements such as boards or shower plastics to access the damp areas effectively. Any furniture that needs to be removed will be handled with the utmost care and stored safely while we work. We then install new timber framing, insulation, and wall boards, using high-quality glue for a durable finish.
Finishing Touches: Once repairs are complete, we provide a complimentary cleaning of your motorhome, both inside and out, leaving it refreshed and ready for your next adventure.
