You might be wondering what’s happening at Mobil in Waipukurau!

There are some great upgrades underway before they reopen, and Longridge was onsite with our Mobile Sandblasting service to help prepare the surfaces for rust prevention.

Our Mobile Sandblasting service comes to you, helping get the job done where it’s needed.

Local team. Reliable service. Longridge.

Got an idea? Bring it to Longridge.

If it’s made from sheet metal, chances are we can help.

From custom toolboxes and dog boxes to handrails, stainless steel benchtops, ducting, water tanks and one-off components, our Waipukurau engineering team can design, fabricate, modify and build to suit.

Have a project in mind? Bring us your measurements, a sketch, an existing part — or just tell us what you need it to do.

Custom engineering. Practical solutions. Built properly.

You don’t have to go where your insurer tells you.
You have the right to choose your own repairer, and that choice matters.

At Longridge, we’re CRA members, which means certified repairers, qualified tradespeople, and work that meets strict safety and quality standards.

If you ever hear, “This is who your insurer recommends,” remember this: You can say, “Thanks, but I’d like to use my own repairer.”

Quality repairs start with having a choice.

Got a caravan or motorhome sitting around that you’re thinking about selling?
Been meaning to sell it for the last 6 months… but somehow the “to-do” list keeps getting longer?
Why not give Longridge a call and see if we can take the hassle off your hands?
Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or your caravan has spent more time parked up than actually going anywhere lately — have a yarn with us.
Call in and see us at 39 Takapau Rd, Waipukurau or give us a call 06 8589608.

Less mucking around. More getting on with it. 👍

Summer trips are planned long before December.

If your caravan or motorhome needs repairs, upgrades or a proper refit before it gets back on the road, now is a good time to get things moving.

The Longridge team can help with custom new builds, refurbishments, solar panels, awnings, reversing cameras, water pumps, heaters, fridges, hardware and accessories, plus specialist alloy and fibreglass work.

Whether it’s an insurance repair, a few practical upgrades or a complete transformation, bring it in and tell us what you need.

Good advice. Solid workmanship. A local team that knows its stuff.

Book ahead for summer.
