How a build works

Most people have never commissioned a conversion before and are not sure what to ask. This is the whole process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    A phone call or a visit to the workshop. What you want the van for matters more than a spec list. Weekends away and full-time living need different builds.

  2. 02

    Design and quote

    Layout, materials and spec agreed and written down before anything starts. You get a price for the work described, not a range that moves later.

  3. 03

    The build

    One van at a time. Photo updates as it goes so you can see progress and raise anything early, while changes are still cheap.

  4. 04

    Handover

    A full walkthrough of how everything works (heating, power, water, gas) before you drive it away.

Repairs work differently

A repair usually starts with a look at the van, because damp and rot are rarely only where they show. John will tell you what he finds and what it will take before starting work.

Start your build

Tell John about your van and what you have in mind. No obligation.
