Hi, I know this has been asked before but I am having a lorry converted a horsebox and need to find a good builder in the Oxon/Wilts area or surrounding, the only ones I can find are way up north. Does anyone have any ideas please?
 
PRB.

We had out 7.5t built by them, had it for years and years, never let us down.

They are currently building us a 3.5t.
 
Hi, I have just literally finished having my 7.5tonne box built. I chose every part of it from scratch, and although stressful at times it is exactly what I want. I'm not too far from you (Bucks), if you want any tips or contacts please feel free to PM me. I know how hard it can be to get personal referrals and it would have cut down on the massive amount of research that I have done. On the plus side though, I now have a great list of people who I would recommend without hesitation.
 
Our box was built by priory stud horseboxes. Very impressed with their service (we didn't buy directly from them) and with the build of the lorry.

make sure you get a writen quote and a date for compleation!! there are a lot of chancers out there who will promise the earth,and ????!!! and have a good look at there work before you part with any cash ..
 
Don't know if these will be too far away but
www.bunnagehorseboxes.co.uk based just outside of Stroud, glos.

I've known Barney and Emma for years, their lorries always look fantastic. Never had one built buy them as could never afford one, but they have an amazing reputation.
 
Another for PRB.
Could never afford one but had a look around the place on an open day and it was very well done. The finished ones always look fabulous and the people who work there seem quite nice.
 
Bit further away, but I had one done by Galaxy Horseboxes. Fantastic build, he did a great job and customer service was amazing - he sent me pics every week and text/email updates regularly too. He did things like the raised living (which PRB were advertising as 2.5k extra) as standard. I love my new lorry.

Look being the oparative word !!!! I was at a show I think your horse live, with my instructor who was busting to buy a lorry a few years ago, anyway we were looking at the prb lorry and we were in there looking round my friend asked a few questions, anyway I realised it was one of those crappy non tilt builds so I said does the cab tilt?? No came the answer !! so I said so that will be fun to service and if it goes wrong a arm and a leg to fix oh says salesman our lorrys dont break down :D so I said but it's an Iveco!!!! anyway we were asked to leave !!! so unless they now know how to make them tilt I would avoid... however the rest of it looked a nice quality build .....
