About Me
I’ve spent the last 9 years touring in motorhomes and caravans, so I understand exactly what owners need from a reliable habitation service.
Before starting Essex Habitation Check, I worked in the mechanical and electrical trade for 20+ years, working on standby generators from the engine to the alternator producing 415v, giving me the technical background and attention to detail that every inspection requires.
I’m based in Essex and run this as an independent mobile service. I originally looked into joining a well known franchise, but after seeing the prices they charge out to the customers — and what I have been paying myself over the years — it didn’t sit right with me. I knew I could offer the same service without the inflated costs and having actual touring experience. Opening Essex Habitation check and being solely mobile reduces my outlay to run the business and focus on passing the cost savings onto the customer.
Another thing that stood out to me was that many people joining the big franchises actually have little or zero touring experience and after a few weeks of training they are let loose on people's pride and joy. With my own hands‑on touring experience and technical trade behind me, I felt I could provide a more knowledgeable, practical, and customer‑focussed service. I am a member of the MCEA, and have been trained to a high standard to ensure all works are carried out correctly and safely.
By staying independent and keeping overheads low, I’m able to provide a professional, thorough habitation check at a fair price. The savings go directly to you, the customer, without compromising on quality or care.
Some of our Google Reviews
Fantastic. Steve arrived as planned, and did a thorough and detailed check on the Motorhome . He gave a detailed run down of what was checked and any findings. He went out of his way to remove my starter battery, which he found had a dead cell, I took it back to the supplier, who changed it under warranty, returned, and he re fitted it. Great service, thanks again Steve.

Passionate About Caravan Safety
Safety is at the heart of everything I do at Essex Habitation Check. Every inspection is carried out with a professional, structured approach to ensure your caravan or motorhome is assessed safely and responsibly.
I am IOSH qualified which is an intensive HSE examined course for individuals working in potentially hazardous environment's, also trained in Working at Heights, giving you confidence that all work is completed to recognised safety standards. Whether I’m inspecting gas systems, electrics, water systems, or roof‑mounted equipment, every step is carried out with care and competence.
All tools and testing equipment — from torque wrenches to multimeters — are calibrated yearly to ensure accuracy and reliability during every inspection. This means you receive a precise, dependable assessment every time.
I believe that everyone should go home to their families at the end of the day, and that mindset guides every job. From the way equipment is handled to the way inspections are planned, safety is never rushed or compromised.
