Motorhome and Caravan Services

What Motorhome and Caravan Services does

Motorhome and Caravan Leisure, trading as Motorhome and Caravan Services, is a privately held, family-run workshop founded around 1970 and based in Almodington, Batchmere, Chichester, West Sussex. The company specialises in the servicing, repair, restoration and modification of motorhomes, caravans and trailers, operating from a fully equipped workshop at its Chichester headquarters and dispatching a mobile service van to customer homes, campsites and storage sites across Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey and the South Coast of England. Service delivery is anchored by over 50 years of combined family experience, Approved Workshop Scheme and National Caravan Council accreditation, and a proprietary axle refurbishment process (including 360-degree grease-tracked bushes and a two-year warranty).

The product portfolio spans scheduled maintenance (chassis, full, habitation and engine services), damp and reseal work, body repairs (PVC, GRP, aluminium, paintwork), axle and chassis refurbishment, van and horsebox-to-camper conversions, vintage 1960s–1970s caravan restoration, and supply-and-fit of accessories such as solar systems, motor movers and tyres. The business also handles insurance claim work through established relationships with leading UK insurers and manufactures. Pricing is unit-based, with chassis services at £175–£240, full services at £245–£279, engine services at £125–£210, habitation at £225, combined services from £325, an hourly labor rate of £75 for 2026, and mobile call-out charges from £15, with parts billed separately.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: customers contact the business by phone (07712 877182) or email for free estimates, with marketing primarily through the company website and a Facebook page, supplemented by word-of-mouth in the regional caravan community. Revenue is split across professional services (workshop labor and mobile call-outs), hardware sales (parts and fitted accessories) and occasional transaction fees from pre-owned holiday caravan sales. The company employs approximately 13 staff and reports no external investors, parent entity, or institutional ownership, operating as an independent family business with a long-standing regional footprint.
