Private clients · Horseboxes

Living areas finished to envy.

The horses travel in comfort; there’s no reason you shouldn’t. Bespoke horsebox living areas, finished to a standard most houses would be glad of.

Luxury horseboxes are some of our favourite work, because they ask the most of a small space. A living area has to convert, store, seat and sleep — and it has to do all of it for owners who spend serious hours in there, in all weather, often before dawn.

That’s where a horsebox is won or lost: seating that turns into a proper bed, surfaces that survive boots and tack but still look the part, and a finish that holds up to a long season rather than a showroom afternoon.

We design the whole space with you, then cut, upholster and trim it in-house — leather where it earns its keep, wool and tweed where they’re wanted, oak and detailing to tie it together. Built, in other words, for the life a horsebox actually leads.

The horses travel in comfort. There’s no reason you shouldn’t.

Why owners come to us.

The reasons people choose a workshop like ours over a forecourt option or a cheaper trade fit.

01

Small space, properly planned

A living area has to be seating, storage, kitchen and bedroom at once. We design it as a whole, so every inch earns its place and nothing feels like an afterthought.

02

Finished to a residential standard

Owners who spend real time in their box notice the difference between ‘trade fit’ and properly made. We work to the latter — the standard you’d want in a good kitchen, not a stable.

03

Built to take the life

Early mornings, wet kit, mud and tack. We choose hard-wearing leathers and cloths and build them to survive a season, then another — handsome and genuinely durable, not one at the expense of the other.

 

04

Convertible without compromise

Beds that fold from seating, tables that stow, pods that sleep — engineered and upholstered so they work easily and look intended, not improvised.

05

Designed with you, guaranteed by us

Your layout, your materials, your details — drawn up together and built under one roof, by the people who’ll stand behind it afterwards.

What a commission includes.

A typical interior covers most or all of the below — we’ll tailor the exact scope to your vehicle and budget.

Living-area seating

Designed and built, with conversion to a bed where wanted.

Beds & sleeping pods

Luton and rear pods upholstered to match the cabin.

Hard-wearing surfaces

Cloth and trim that survive boots, tack and weather.

Curtains & soft furnishings

Made to measure on our own track system.

Cab & sleeping areas

Retrimmed and tied in to the living space.

Bespoke detailing

Leather, oak, buttoning and stitching to your spec.

Headlinings & panels

Finished to the same standard as the rest.

Full design service

The whole living area planned with you from scratch.

Materials that suit it.

A horsebox interior has to be beautiful and bombproof at once, so we lean on materials that manage both.

Full-grain leather

Tweed & wool

Wipe-clean trim

Leather where it earns its keep, wool and tweed where they’re wanted, hard-wearing trim where life is messiest — chosen together, for your box.

How it works.

From first call to the day it’s back with you — unhurried, and clear at every step.

STEP ONE
The first conversation

Tell us about the vehicle and how you actually use it. A few photos help; a clear opinion helps more. There's no charge and no obligation — just a straight talk about what's possible.

STEP ONE
STEP TWO
Design & drawings

We work up the layout and the look with you — what changes, what stays, where the detail goes. Nothing moves forward until you can picture the finished thing.

STEP THREE
Materials in your hands

We put samples in front of you to see and feel in the light of your own vehicle. Nothing is ordered, and nothing is cut, until you're sure.

STEP FOUR
Built in our workshop

Foam and panels cut in-house on our own machines, upholstered, stitched and trimmed by the same hands throughout. This is where the standard is set.

Fitted & guaranteed

Delivered or fitted to the date we agreed at the start — not a vague promise — and guaranteed against our workmanship once it's yours.

What it costs.

We don’t publish fixed prices, and we’re suspicious of anyone in bespoke work who does. No two commissions are the same, and a ‘from’ figure tells you nothing useful. What you get instead is an honest, itemised quote once we’ve seen the vehicle and understood the brief — and no surprises after it.

Scope.

A single seat or a complete interior; a refresh in new cloth or a full redesign from the frame up.

Materials.

Leather and Alcantara sit above fine wools and weaves, which sit above hard-wearing technical cloth. We show you options at every level and let you decide.

Complexity.

Curved panels, deep buttoning, piping and one-off detailing all take longer to pattern and build than flat, simple work.

Condition.

Sound frames and foam cost less to work with than tired ones that need rebuilding before we can even start.

Fitting.

Whether you fit it yourself or we do it for you, and how far the vehicle is from the workshop.

Timing.

A standard lead time costs less than a job squeezed in around a show, a sale or a trip you can't move.

A few we've done

Questions, answered.

Both — many clients hand us the empty space and a brief, and we design, build and fit the lot. Others want a specific upgrade. Either way it’s planned with you from the start.

That’s exactly what we build for. Hard-wearing leathers and cloths, properly made and finished, so it survives early starts and wet kit without looking tired by autumn.

Yes — matching the living area to the calibre of the vehicle is the whole idea. Leather, oak, custom stitching and detailing, finished to a residential standard.

It depends on scope, but most private commissions run from a couple of weeks to a few, once materials are in. You’ll have a firm date before we start — we plan the work around your calendar, not the other way round.

Both happen. For many jobs we’ll see the vehicle once at the start and once at the end; for others we keep it here while we work. Consultations are by appointment so you get our proper attention.

Yes — we arrange collection and delivery across the UK, and we’ll factor it into your quote so there’s nothing to work out later.

Every commission is guaranteed against our workmanship. If something isn’t right, we put it right. The same hands that built it are the ones who’ll stand behind it.

Send a few photos and a sense of what you’re after, or book a visit. We’ll come back with honest options and a clear, itemised price — no pressure, and no one will chase you.
