01

Body & paintwork

From a scuffed bumper to a full respray.

We undertake all types of vehicle body and paintwork repairs, from minor bumps and scratches to accident damage and complete resprays. Every repair is carried out in our fully equipped bodyshop in Hexham.

  • Accident repairs
  • Complete resprays
  • Specialist paintwork: pearl colour, flip tone and special effects
  • Paintless dent repairs
  • Plastic repairs
  • Fibreglass repair and refinishing

Paintless dent repair can sometimes be done instead of major repairs and paintwork, at a great saving of time and money. If a plastic part is damaged, it is often possible to repair the area instead of replacing the whole panel.

Shot blasting, sandblasting and vapour blasting, with a selection of options on many materials including wood, stone and metal. We blast objects of all kinds, for example wheels, bike frames, tractor panels and fireplaces, and we powder coat as well.

  • Shot blasting
  • Sandblasting
  • Vapour blasting
  • Powder coating

Bring it in or give us a ring to talk through the job and the finish you are after.

Classic & vintage restoration

Traditional methods for vehicles that deserve them.

Laurence has a passionate interest in classic and vintage vehicles and has restored his own, including Scammell and Volvo trucks, a Panther motorcycle and a Clan Crusader. We have restored a wide range of vehicles for customers, in many cases using traditional methods.

  • Classic and vintage restorations
  • Body soldering and panel repairs
  • Welding and chassis repairs
  • Specialist paintwork and resprays

Restoration techniques often use traditional methods, and we are always happy to advise before any work starts.

Welding, servicing and the jobs in between.

  • Motorcycles
  • Quad bikes
