Thanks JY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will86 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi JY John and welcome to the forum I'm not familiar with the area you describe but there are many on this forum who have attended to damp problems If you tell us what make of van you have and the year and where you see of feel the damp is you should receive some knowledgeable answers, many do their own repairs of course or could possibly advise on any potential costs. The more information you provide the more accurate will be the replies Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 hi John and welcome, I see you have your van details and year in your profile but as Will has asked where is the damp? Two suggestions I can make are Cannock Resprays or Dave Newell Leisure Vehicle Services in Telford. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyard0312 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 The damp is on the near side wall and floor and rear corner floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 johnyard0312 - 2020-10-30 10:52 AM The damp is on the near side wall and floor and rear corner floor. This was the typical damp problem with Swift models of that era & there were lots of threads on the forum. IIRC the underfloor was covered by plastic sheeting which inevitably became damaged allowing water ingress, especially behind the rear n/s wheel. I recall several owners had repairs by Swift's at the factory. I'm unaware if that scheme is still available 11 years after build. Swift did operate an owner's forum, "Swifttalk" which may reveal helpful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zydeco Joe Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Yes to Cannock Resprays if Ian cannot sort you out you are in trouble. Look them up on line. I have used them great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I note that, in this 2009 forum thread, Dave Newell said that he had referred a customer with serious motorhome damp problems to Cannock Repsrays - so they must be good. http://www.motorhomerepairs.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaleg Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi John, I live in south Birmingham as well, sadly I don't know of anywhere around here for damp repairs. You could ask at Auto sleeper ( they are 35 miles away) or Nick Whale as they are local as well also Hayes leisure Not sure if any of these do damp repairs but must be able to refer you to someone locally. There is a caravan dealership near Studley and another just outside of Bromsgrove. Just had my van damp issue fixed at my supplying dealer under Warranty at Burnham on Sea. Should you need a good Auto Electrician who turns his hand to more or less anything he is based in West Heath. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zydeco Joe Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Good choice Ian the boss will do a great job for you and Dave Newell (who I have also used in the past ) has closed his place till after the lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
