From RAF ground equipment to your trailer
Total Trailer Services is my own business, set up to give trailer owners around King's Lynn a properly qualified, fully mobile service at a fixed, fair price.
My background
I've worked in engineering for almost 20 years, over ten of them as a Ground Equipment Engineer in the Royal Air Force, which is still my full-time job.
That work teaches you to do a job fully and in order: inspect, find the actual cause, fix it, check it again. I bring the same approach to every trailer.
Why trailers, and why mobile
Trailers get forgotten until something goes wrong. Most owners don't want to tow a trailer to a workshop and leave it there just to find out whether the bearings are fine. So I come to you, do the work where the trailer is parked, and charge a price you can see before you book.
For now that means general servicing and fault diagnosis on trailers, horseboxes and catering trailers: brakes, bearings, lights and wiring. I'd rather do a few things properly than offer everything from day one. The range of services will grow over time, and new services will show up on the services page with prices once they're available.

Evenings and weekends
Because I'm still serving, bookings are mainly evenings and weekends. For most people that suits anyway, since that's when the trailer is sitting on the drive and you're home.
The quickest way to get a slot is to message me on WhatsApp with your trailer type and where it's kept. You can also use the contact form.
