Common questions
How much does water damage repair cost?
It depends entirely on how far it has spread. A single window resealed with a small section of frame replaced is a modest job. A van where water has tracked into the floor is a much bigger one. John will look at it and tell you which you have before any work starts.
Can you repair it, or does the whole van need doing?
Almost always a repair. Full rebuilds are rare, and John will say plainly if that is what you are facing rather than starting work and discovering it later.
How long does it take?
Most water ingress repairs are done inside a week to ten days. Drying time is often the limiting factor, not the carpentry.
