£130–£220
Typical: £180
The interior/safety half of a service — damp, gas, electrics, ventilation and appliances checked.

£120–£200
Typical: £160
Single-unit statics. Access and site location can affect a mobile engineer’s travel charge.
Read the servicing & checks guidesDamp repair
from £350
Hugely dependent on extent — a single reseal is cheap; panel, wall or floor replacement runs into four figures. Get a survey first.
Read the damp & leaks guidesDamp survey & report
£70–£180
Typical: £120
A metered inspection with a written report — worth it before buying, or before committing to a repair.
Read the damp & leaks guidesResealing (roof & seams)
£180–£600
Typical: £350
Depends on how many seams/joints and whether trims come off. Full-roof reseals cost more.
Read the damp & leaks guidesGas service / safety check
£60–£120
Typical: £90
Often bundled into a full service. Standalone checks are quick but need a competent gas engineer.

£90–£180
Typical: £130
A full inspection and test of the 230V and 12V systems, with a report. Fault-finding is charged on top.
Read the electrics guidesWheel bearing replacement
£90–£220 per hub
Typical: £150
Parts plus labour per hub. Often done alongside a brake service while the drum is off.
Read the brakes & running gear guidesBrake service / adjustment
£100–£240
Typical: £160
Strip, clean and adjust; shoes/parts extra if worn. Twin-axle vans cost more (more brakes).
Read the brakes & running gear guidesTyre replacement
£70–£140 per tyre, fitted
Typical: £100
Varies by size and brand. Caravan tyres are often replaced on age (5–7 years) before the tread runs out.
Read the brakes & running gear guidesMotor mover (supply & fit)
£600–£1,200
Typical: £850
The mover unit (Truma, Powrtouch and similar) is the bulk of the cost; fitting is typically a few hours’ labour on top.
Read the brakes & running gear guidesHeating / appliance repair
£80–£500
Typical: £200
Truma, Alde, fridges and water heaters. Diagnosis is cheap; the spare part drives the total — a full control board can top £400.
