Habcheck

Mobile habitation checks for motorhomes and caravans

Habcheck is a British company specialising in habitation checks and servicing for motorhomes and caravans through a mobile service: engineers travel to the customer's home, their storage location or any convenient point, without the owner having to move the vehicle. The firm operates as a franchise and each engineer works as an independent franchisee; they only act under Habcheck's authority when providing the services listed on its website, while any other work arranged directly with the franchisee is a transaction separate from the company.

Motorhome services

The motorhome catalogue includes mobile habitation check, mobile warranty servicing, repairs, pre-purchase inspection, winterisation, accessory fitting and storage. The habitation check is offered at £249 for members and £269 for non-members. The pre-purchase inspection costs £299 and includes a comprehensive inspection with a full report. The antibacterial water system flush service, winterisation and the season ready service are priced at £249, or £119 when booked alongside another full-price service; the antibacterial flush reduces the microbial count by over 99%. The company also offers free membership with flexible payments.

Caravan services

For caravans, equivalent services are offered: mobile servicing, mobile warranty servicing, repairs, pre-purchase inspection, winterisation, accessory fitting and storage. Single axle caravan servicing, including hub nuts, costs £305 for members and £335 for non-members; double axle servicing is £339 for members and £370 for non-members. The pre-purchase inspection remains at £299, and the antibacterial flush, winterisation and season ready service are likewise offered at £249 or £119 alongside another full-price service.

Why book a habitation check

The company itself cites three main reasons: the safety of family and companions, preventing small problems from becoming costly repairs — which helps preserve the vehicle's value — and maintaining the manufacturer's warranty. Habcheck belongs to the Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS) and is authorised to carry out the habitation checks required to keep that warranty valid. Its engineers are trained and qualified, and since they do not carry out repairs, the reports they issue are impartial.

Service model and coverage

The service is defined as mobile, impartial and with flexible payments spread throughout the year. The company serves both private owners and those who keep their vehicle at storage facilities. In addition to the mobile servicing business, Habcheck has fixed repair centres, a separate line from its main activity. The website publishes advisory content on gas safety, motorhome and caravan insurance, service history, tow bar fitting and the effect of the pandemic on servicing under the manufacturer's warranty.

Membership and other services

Habcheck membership is free and offers flexible payments and discounts, with the stated aim that the customer will never forget a habitation check again. The company also sells accessories and allows owners to sell their motorhome or caravan through its channels. It also recruits engineers interested in joining as franchisees of the brand.
