Use the book form or contact, call 0330 520 2380, or email reed@cleanandtidy.scot. Enquiries are answered first by Reed (Habitation Checks Scotland ops). Tell us whether you want a mobile visit or a static (depot) inspection at Broxburn. We’ll confirm details and arrange your check.
No. An MOT checks the base vehicle for roadworthiness. A Habitation Check is a leisure-vehicle living-area safety check for motorhomes and caravans (electrics, gas, water, heating & safety, bodywork, damp survey, service history, plus a written Pass/Fail report). Running gear is visual/operational only — not a DVSA MOT or full mechanical service. Some warranties or insurers may ask for evidence — check your handbook or policy.
Nine engineer-report sections: electrical systems; gas systems; water systems; heating, ventilation & safety; bodywork & chassis; damp meter survey; running gear (visual/operational — not a DVSA MOT); service history review; and observations with a written Pass/Fail report. Coverage depends on how the vehicle is equipped. See Services for Menu A prices.
Locked public prices: Habitation Check £269, Pre-Purchase Inspection £299, Caravan Service single £335 / double £370. Season Ready, Anti-Bacterial Flush and Winterisation are £249 alone or £119 when booked with Hab, PPI or Caravan Service. Trailer servicing is POA.

Yes — both. Habitation Checks Scotland covers motorhomes and caravans. The same engineer report structure applies to both.
Even brand-new motorhomes and caravans often benefit from — and are often preferred to have — a habitation check. That preference is commonly driven by warranty conditions, some insurer expectations, campsite rules, and factory/dealer handovers that can miss living-system issues. Check your warranty and policy — it is not legally required for all new vans.
No. Caravan servicing (single or double axle) is a bolt-on under Habitation Checks Scotland — same team, same booking, same brand.
