After visiting around 8 companies in the north west I ended up settling with one called AJC Conversions, Glossop, Derbyshire...
Came with a few recommends off people that are quite hard to please which said something in itself..
He prides himself on doing the work to a high standard, makes all the cupboards etc himself, rather than buy them in flat packed...
His workshop is clean, tidy, well laid out, templates well organised, everything to hand and he's happy to show you round and tell you all about the pro's and con's to some of your ideas..
Any ideas you've seen on other campers he will happily do for you and is open to whatever you want incorporating into your build... He's got a good order book with previous customers as far afield as London and the South coast...
The level of detail applied to the conversion also impressed me prep work included all sharp edges ground down and holes on the inside panelling covered prior to carpeting so as to prevent 'dirt spots' which show up where the holes are after a couple of years.... also re-routing some of the cabling rather than over flexing anything...
My conversion spec is quite high with Altofina hand made cupboards, Karndean flooring, Reimo roof, top spec RIB bed, bespoke leather upholstery, dual leisure batteries, 250W panel, ebarspacher etc... but because I have a 10+ year plan for the van, i'd rather pay a little extra and know it's done right first time.... Even with the build spec and extra's it's not too far north of 20K, Some companies for the same spec wanted nearer 30K, So pricewise i found them to be in the middle... 3 to 4 weeks duration for the complete conversion....
