Pop top roof lead times can be anything from 4 weeks to 12 weeks depending on the time of year and chosen manufacturer. Our fitting times will also vary, to avoid disappointment, we recommend you book your pop top roof conversion asap.

This depends on what work you are having done. If you are just having a pop top roof fitted you can usually collect the following lunchtime. If you are having any electrical or carpeting work done it can be longer. When we book you in we will confirm the collection date.

We ask for you to have your van here between 7:30 and 8:00am on the day booked. If this isn’t convenient and you need to drop off at a different time or day, please arrange this at the time of booking as we have limited parking available on site and it’s not always possible.

Yes, your nearest is Macdonald Hill Valley Hotel Golf & Spa, we can drop you off if required.

How much you’ll pay for your pop top roof depends on various factors. A pop top roof, including fitting, can range anywhere from £2,500 - £8,500. This will depend on lots of factors, including: 

• The pop top roof brand 
• The vehicle
• Long wheel base or short wheel base
• The canvas options
• Is it colour coded?
• Hinge options 
• Safety accreditation (TUV)
• Fastening mechanisms 
• Installation quality 

Yes we can, however, we will need to either see the van in person or see photos of the conversion so that we can see what additional work is involved.

Choosing the right pop top roof brand is hard, mainly because so many are available. We have fitted lots of different types over the years, but the brands we stick with are: 

• SCA
• Horizon 
• Austops 
• Skyline 
• WestDubs
• Storm
• RAP
• Drivelodge 

We fit pop top roofs onto lots of different base vehicles, for example:

• VW Transporter
• VW Caddy
• VW Crafter
• Mercedes Sprinter
• Ford Transit Custom
• Land Rover Defender
• Renault Traffic
• Mann TGE

You’ll more than likely want the pop top roof to be colour coded to the colour of your van. This can be done in a few ways, but the best option is Gel-Coat Colour Matching.

This can be done with any non-metallic colour as part of the manufacturing process. Meaning there can be no flaking or blistering in the paintwork.

Most people are concerned about the profile of the outside of the vehicle when choosing a roof. Some cheaper roof options can sit very high and alter the van's look.

Most modern roof manufacturers offer a low-profile roof option which helps with the exterior aesthetics. 

Most manufacturers offer different canvas colours. We’ve seen a few bright blues that make the inside of the van feel pretty chilly! Take care to consider what the canvas colour will do to the light inside the camper. 

Panoramic canvas options where the front of the canvas opens are proving very popular. It’s usually only a few hundred pounds more, but well worth the investment! 

It’s essential to know that the roof will stay down when you’re driving! Loads of different locking mechanisms keep the roof down on the road. They range from simple pull straps to complex locking systems.

Generally, the cheaper roofs use straps, and the higher end of the market uses clasps etc. Some roofs on the market use a key that locks the roof shut, which is excellent for added safety in the van. For example, the Skyline Aurora has a great locking mechanism.

With most major manufacturers, it tends to be three years, except for Skyline, who offers a generous five-year warranty. We’ve fitted countless roofs and it’s not very often we have to use the warranty. But sometimes things happen, and it’s great to know it’s built to last.
