Question 1

What we DO/DONT do

Accepted Answer

We get asked this a lot so here is a list of what we do/don't do.

What we do (do)
- Fit our own furniture/floor/walls/roof panels.

What we don't do
- We’re not a traditional van conversion company – so things like windows, electrics, insulation, carpet lining aren’t in our remit. We ask that ALL install prep be carried out prior to a visit with us.

Question 3

What Are Your Installation Costs?

Accepted Answer

Installation of our van furniture is at our farm location near Loch Lomond. Installation time and costs vary depending on the amount of furniture we're fitting and we offer services from 1hr to a full day. For a full install (floor, walls, ceiling and furniture) in a medium sized van we would require the van from 830am - 430pm where as a single item we may only need the van for an hour. Our fitting service includes all materials.

TYPICAL COSTS
L1 Fitting - £60 + VAT (1 item of furniture approx 1-2hrs)
L2 Fitting - £170 + VAT (2-3 items of furniture approx 4hrs/half day)
L3 Fitting - £280 + VAT (Full build of furniture, roof, walls, floor. All day 830am - 430pm)

During the quote/invoice process we will let you know what level of fitting is best for your build

Please see our INSTALL PREP (https://www.theplyguys.co.uk/install-prep-best-tips)section for more info on how your van should look prior to arriving with us for an install appointment

We DO NOT undertake conversion services such as; diesel heater fitment, electric installs, window installs, lining / insulation etc

More info on our install service here (https://www.theplyguys.co.uk/book-online)

Please note, any install prep that hasnt been carried out may incur an additional charge on the day of fitting, we will always have a discussion prior to your build to assess what stage your van is in and to make sure it is ready to come to us for fitting.

Looking for someone to undertake the preparation? We work with quite a few conversion companies around the UK and Ireland who carry out conversion work ahead of our furniture install. Some of them are shown here: https://www.theplyguys.co.uk/fitting-partners.(https://www.theplyguys.co.uk/fitting-partners) If you can't see someone on the list close to you, drop us an email and we'll see who we can recommend!

Question 9

What materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

The clue is in the name…but we almost exclusively use sustainable Birch Ply

Question 10

How do you maintain / clean etc

Accepted Answer

We use birch for our builds because it not only looks amazing but is strong, long lasting and resilient. In certain circumstances we recommend using coatings to protect the finish, particularly for the facings of Natural Birch or where the end grains may be exposed to water.

Question 11

Can you paint the furniture and campervan units?

Accepted Answer

If you’ve gone for our Natural Birch finish you can customise your unit or furniture using paint. Obviously, if you’ve opted for one of our other finishes (like hexa) then please don’t…it looks amazing as it is.
