Plain-English summary: Repair problems can involve damp, leaks, mould, roof defects, windows, doors, plumbing, electrics, installation quality or repeated failed repairs. This guide explains how to create a clear repair evidence file.
This is an informational guide. The main review page remains Holiday Park and Static Caravan Review if you want Quaerens to look at your documents and circumstances.
Key issues and warning signs
- Damp, leaks and mould
- Roof, window and door defects
- Plumbing or electrical faults
- Delayed or incomplete repairs
- Repeated failed repair attempts
- Warranty or responsibility disputes
Detailed explanation
Repair disputes often become confusing because several parties may be involved: the park, seller, manufacturer, contractor, warranty provider or finance company.
A dated defect schedule helps show when each problem appeared, who was told, what response was given and whether the repair worked.
Photographs and videos should be kept with dates where possible. If an expert or engineer comments on the issue, keep the full report and any supporting photographs.
These issues often overlap with broader holiday park dispute review concerns, but this guide focuses on the specific topic so it does not duplicate the main commercial page.
Common examples
Example 1
A leak was reported several times, but repairs were delayed and mould damage worsened.
Example 2
A warranty provider rejected responsibility while the seller and park each suggested another party was responsible.
These are illustrative fact patterns only. They do not describe guaranteed outcomes or imply that every similar case has a valid complaint.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for repairs?
It depends on the purchase documents, warranty, park rules, defect type and who carried out the work. The documents need to be reviewed together.
Do I need a professional inspection?
For serious defects, damp, leaks or structural concerns, an inspection can be useful. You can still start by organising the evidence you already have.
What if repairs keep failing?
Keep repair dates, photographs, messages and notes showing what was attempted and whether the problem continued.
Can mould or damp be part of a complaint?
Yes, where the evidence shows when it appeared, what caused it and how the seller, park or repair provider responded.
Should I keep videos?
Yes. Videos can help show leaks, damage, movement, damp or other defects that are hard to capture in one photograph.
Does Quaerens inspect caravans?
Quaerens reviews documents and evidence. If specialist inspection evidence is needed, we can explain why that may help.
