Convertible Roofs,
Done Right.

From soft-top replacement to leak prevention, every job passes through technicians who work on nothing but convertibles.

Soft tops. Headlinings. Frames. Seals. Eight specialist services — one team who works on convertibles and nothing else.

Most Requested

Soft Top Replacement

UV exposure, harsh weather and age all take their toll on a soft top — fading, tearing, or a rear screen that's come unbonded from the fabric. Left too long, a failing roof lets water into the cabin.

  • Fabric, vinyl or custom colour
  • Frame & mechanism check
  • Leak-proof sealing included

Recommended Yearly

Roof Servicing

UV, rain and debris wear a roof down over time. A yearly service — inspection, cleaning, conditioning and waterproofing — catches problems before they become leaks.

  • Full roof inspection
  • Waterproofing treatment
  • Power roof mechanicals serviced

  • Fabric & paint sealant

Also Available

The Rest of the Job, Covered

Headlining Replacement

UV exposure weakens the adhesive holding your headlining in place, causing it to sag, peel or stain. Often replaced alongside a new roof so interior and exterior match.

Enquire

Computer Diagnostics

Modern convertibles run on sophisticated computer systems. Our diagnostic tools quickly identify engine, transmission, electrical and roof-mechanism faults.

Enquire

Frame Adjustments

Road conditions and wear can misalign a convertible's frame over time. We straighten and realign it back to manufacturer specification.

Enquire

Seal Replacement

Brittle or worn seals let in rain, dust and cabin noise. We fit high-quality replacements built to withstand UK weather.

Enquire

Leak Prevention

Worn seals, degraded weather stripping and blocked drainage are the most common causes of interior water damage — we find and fix them before they spread.
