General question here,  

I purchased my van a few months ago from a dealer and it did come with 3 months damp warranty.  I have no reason at all to believe that I have damp in the van.   However it would appear that in previous care someone has attempted to reseal all the "edgings" and "trims" etc and made what look to me a very messy job.  If I was to want to tidy my van up, howmuch would i approx be looking at for a "trained" person to carry this out? 

Thanks in advance

This the one?

My van has spots that are bodged, by the previous owner attempting to seal over the top of the old stuff, to do it properly you need to take off the rails, rempve the mastic and replace with new, which is easier than  it sounds if you use the mastic on a roll (costs slightly more but lots easier to use if your not used to using a caulk gun)

My van still has scruffy spot on it, but it doesnt leak, and TBH with the age of the van i aint bothered

Hi Swilt , it's not too difficult a job really if you have a few diy skills , and the fixed it club members are always around on here to offer you advice when you need it . One thing you must remember is to throughly dry the area after cleaning it with white spirit .
Take your time , do one section of awning rail at a time ( try doing a short piece first ) .

Hi swilt

i know your thinking on doing the job yourself now but to answer your question

a professional would charge anything from £150 - £300 for the job
