Where park home repairs typically go wrong
The pattern is consistent: a contractor visits, gives a verbal price the same day, says the work needs to start soon. Anxiety does the rest.
The failures we see most are: scope creep (replacing what could be repaired), bundled pricing (so you can't tell what's reasonable), unnecessary urgency (real urgency exists but not as often as it's claimed), missing the insurance question entirely, and not capturing photographic evidence before work starts.
Each of these is fixable. None of them are fixable once the work has started.
Got a Quote or Issue?
We'll take a proper look before you commit. Many quotes include unnecessary work or inflated costs.
No obligation. We'll review and highlight anything you should be aware of.
Most members recover the cost of the plan on their first issue.
What independent quote review actually does
We look at the written quote (or the verbal price written down), the description of works, any supporting photographs, and the wider context. We come back with a plain-English review: what's reasonable, what looks unclear or excessive, whether the scope is appropriate, and whether anything in the situation looks insurance-relevant. Where helpful, we recommend a proper independent inspection before any work goes ahead.
Common repair categories we review
Roof repairs (covering, junctions, flashings), base repairs (level, condition, drainage), damp remediation (cause first, treatment second), insulation work, windows and doors, exterior cladding, structural repairs (chassis, cross-bracing), and the catch-all 'general refurbishment' quotes that often hide overlapping line items.
- Roof tile / felt / fibreglass replacement and joint sealing
- Base relevelling and pad / pier rectification
- Damp diagnosis and remediation
- Window / door replacement (and where repair is sufficient)
- Underside insulation and vapour barriers
- Chassis rust treatment and structural reinforcement
- Driveways, skirting, drainage around the home
Cost of getting it wrong
On a single roof replacement, the difference between a fair scope at fair price and a maximalist quote can easily be £4,000 — £8,000. On base work it can be more. The cost of a quote review is a fraction of any of that.
