The chassis is the foundation of every park home, making it potentially the most important asset. It supports the overall structure and allows residents to benefit from a secure, stable and all round quality experience. Though it doesn’t require much upkeep, it does need to be kept in tip-top condition since it is such an integral part of the home.
Thanks to our professional survey service, we’re able to identify any stresses and strains which currently affect the supporting chassis structure. Our team will carry out a site survey in advance to any work starting on site.

What are the main chassis issues?
RUST
This causes the structure to decay and weaken which can be extremely dangerous if left untreated for too long- unlevelness, long term distortion and potentially the eventual collapse of your home. When it comes to rust, it’s always better to tend to the issue sooner rather than later in order to prevent further damage.
INADEQUATE SUPPORT
A sufficient support system is needed to accommodate a stable and level surface, ensuring that a balanced weight distribution is maintained at all times.
When is it recommended to check the chassis and supports of a home?
Is the park home over 10 years old?
Has the home undergone any major additions or alterations? (e.g. cladding, roofing, etc.)
Are any major refurbishment works planned?
Does the home feel un-level?
Is the home sited within 10 miles of the coast?
Is the home sited in a vulnerable area? (e.g. prone to flooding)
Is your home exposed to the elements?
Does the home have ill-fitting skirting?
Are the floorboards creaking or squeaking?
Are the floors feeling bouncy?
PHCS has dedicated surveyors to carry out full inspections under the home. The survey will provide a thorough assessment of the condition of all aspects under the home, to include photographs, followed up with a comprehensive written report detailing all findings. The report will also include any recommendations of work with a quotation (only if work is required)
PHCS works with Site Managers and Residents Associations to offer discounted surveys for groups of residents on the same site, or if you have a few friends and neighbours who may also need a survey, let us know and we can agree a discounted pricing structure.
