Planet Trim Company Limited T/A Lodge farm Leisure is a family business established in 2000 and features three generations working together! Peter has worked in the motor industry for over 50 years - since leaving school - when he became a mechanic, then panel-beater, painter and finally ran a bodyshop for VW for 20 years.
With Peter's lifelong experience in the car industry, they started off being on the road, specialising in plastic repairs on vehicles. Jade is Chris and Marie's daughter, Peter's grandaughter and Joe's sister. Jade will be training to be another caravan engineer this year, which will help enormously with our workload and also maximise the potential of our new workshop.
Our Full Caravan Service includes all the running gear - as below, chassis, 240V system, 12V system, gas system, all appliances are visually inspected and function checked on all systems, toilet, windows, blinds, skylights, water system including taps & pipework, damp test etc. Our Running Gear Service includes hubs, bearings, brakes, tyres, chassis, stabiliser, corner steadies, road lights, 12N & 12S (or 13 pin) cables & connections.
The Safefill cylinder was designed to be safe and easy to refill.
All the issues identified by the industry were looked into and Safefill developed a product that's so easy to use; has no complicated hoses or attachments that could be incorrectly used; has an integral Overfill Protection Device (OPD); a secondary back-check valve in case you forget to close the valve and tamper-proof fittings that mean gas can only come out of the cylinder when it is attached to an appliance or regulator.

Pass through Burton Joyce, then at the Lowdham roundabout take the 3rd exit. Lodge Farm is situated approx 1 mile on left, 50yds before car sales- we are not easy to see from this direction, so we suggest doing a U-turn after Fullers, the entrance is then clearly visible on your right. From Nottingham (A52).

I had a leak on the roof of my motorhome. Right from the onset I was made to feel comfortable and the planned repair was explained with no bull s***! The repair was done beautifully and, whilst not cheap, it was also a lot of work too. Very straightforward, very friendly and highly recommended

Never knew this place existed until my mobile servicing guy referred me here for bodywork repairs after a blowout. Most people probably drive by & go the the huge dealers nearby. Very knowlegable guys when it comes to caravans. Even though I could refill closer to home I always drop in here for an LPG refill of the Safefill bottle I got from them.

What a find! We needed a Truma Heater checked out because it was showing a fault code. They are members of The Approved Workshop Scheme. That means that they are known to be fully trained engineers and qualified to undertake repairs to most caravans and motor homes. We were only in Nottingham for the day but we’re keen to get the heater working, I… don’t like cold showers! A short phone call resulted in me calling in,even though they were busy and it was very short notice. My issue was quickly resolved by this friendly capable family business. I took the opportunity to refill

What a find! This is a small family run business that's both friendly and professional. Qualified engineers who are knowledgeable and helpful. I had a great experience on my visit and whilst there topped up my gas tank.Yes they have an LPG pump with below average prices.
I would recommend them to anyone.
My son lives nearby so it's going to be good for me as I'll be using them as my default service centre.

Had a leak problem whilst away, called Lodge Farm leisure and they fitted me in and did major repair and routine habitation check in under two days. Was on my way on the second afternoon. Cost was very reasonable, and Chris and the guys and lady in office were very cheerful and helpful. Even trying to find me somewhere to stop overnight. Thanks all at Lodge Farm Leisure, see you next year for hab. Check. Tom and Brenda

A really helpful and informative service. Took the time to explain, among other things, my school boy error of, lubricating O-rings with grease, instead of vegetable oil!
Replacements were selected, and despite my doubts, I was assured they would resolve the problem; no need to for a new water inlet unit. Just got back from a week in Wales without issue.
Many thanks!
