We are a member of the National Trailer and Towing Association, and carry out all servicing and repair work in accordance with their Approved Code of Practice.

A service includes removing the hubs and stripping the brakes, which will then be cleaned and reassembled or replaced if necessary. The hubs and bearings are then reassembled and the brakes adjusted. The suspension system will also be checked along with the hitch coupling, tyres, wheel bearings, floor and side panels (where applicable). The trailer lights will also be checked and repairs carried out to remedy any faults as necessary. We will always endeavour to keep the customer informed of any major cost before the work is carried out, so as to avoid any surprise bills! 

In addition to the servicing, we also have facilities to supply and fit new tyres.

As trailers often have a low annual mileage it is rare that the tread will wear out, more commonly the tyres will deteriorate as they age due to exposure to sunlight, atmosphere, and from being parked for longer periods, these factors can all lead to an increased risk of failure. To find out when a tyre was manufactured look for a series of characters that begin DOT. Usually at the end of this series is a four digit number.If you have a three digit number the tyre was manufactured before 2000. Tyres manufactured since 2000 will have a four digit code, the first two digits indicate the week, and the last two indicate the year.

The image shows an example of a tyre with the code 1817, this tyre would have been manufactured in week 18 of 2017.  In addition to the tyre pressure, it is important to check your tyres regularly for cuts, bulges and cracking as tyres suffering from this kind of deterioration or damage must be changed immediately. We always check for any of these signs when undertaking servicing work on your trailer.
