HGV & LGV Body Repair in Fairford, Gloucestershire

Lorries and large goods vehicles can't sit idle for long. We've got the room and the skills to put the bodywork right and get you moving.

HGV & LGV Body Repair in Fairford, Gloucestershire at OH Works in Fairford

A lorry parked up with a dented cab or a scraped side panel isn’t just untidy, it’s a vehicle that should be out earning. Most body shops haven’t got the floor space to take one on, so it ends up sitting around. We have the room, and we treat the big stuff with the same care as a car. Bring it to our workshop in Fairford, just outside Cirencester, and we’ll sort it.

What we take on

Our bay is set up for size, so we can work all the way round a cab or trailer without it being a juggling act. The kind of jobs that come through include:

  • Dented, creased and split cab and body panels
  • Scraped or holed side panels and curtain frames
  • Doors, wings, bumpers, grilles and steps
  • Corrosion cut out and patched before it spreads
  • Full or partial resprays, colour matched to your fleet

Whether it’s a single tractor unit or one of several vehicles from a yard, we’ll give you a realistic plan so the rota doesn’t fall apart while it’s with us.

Back on the road, not stuck in the yard

Downtime on a large goods vehicle costs real money, so we order parts before the vehicle comes in and keep things moving once it’s on the floor. The work is the same standard you’d expect on any accident and collision repair we do, just on a bigger canvas. Paint is matched and blended so a repaired panel doesn’t shout, and we look the whole thing over before it leaves.

If you run a mix of vehicles, it’s worth knowing we also handle fleet and commercial repairs and the odd horsebox too, so one workshop can keep the whole lot tidy.

Paint and finish that lasts

A truck lives outside in all weathers, so the finish has to stand up to it. We prep properly, use durable coatings and take our time on the bigger flat areas where a rushed job would show. For larger resprays and refinishing, we’ll talk you through what suits the vehicle and how long it’ll need to cure.

Where we work from

We’re based in Fairford and look after operators across the wider area, from Cirencester and Cricklade through to Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett. It’s your vehicle, so if it’s an insurance job remember you can choose your own repairer and bring it to us.

Give us a ring on 01285 238 153 with the make and a rough idea of the damage, or send a few photos, and we’ll quote you with no obligation. Collection and return can be arranged where it helps.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have space to work on HGVs and large vehicles?
Yes. Our workshop has a bay sized for lorries and large goods vehicles, so there's room to get round the whole thing properly rather than squeezing it in. If you're not sure your vehicle will fit, give us the dimensions over the phone and we'll tell you straight away.
Can you respray cabs, panels and trailers?
We can. Cabs, side panels, doors and trailer bodywork can all be prepped and resprayed, with the colour matched so the repaired area sits in with the rest. Bigger surfaces just need a bit more drying and finishing time, which we'll factor into the timescale.
Do you carry out HGV accident and collision repairs?
Yes. From a clipped corner to heavier damage after a shunt, we straighten or replace panels, sort the trim and lights, and finish the paint. Take a look at our accident and collision repair work if the knock was a bigger one.
How long does an HGV body repair take?
It depends on the damage and whether parts need ordering. A single panel or a respray of one section might be a few days, while heavier accident work runs longer. We'll give you an honest date up front so you can plan the runs around it.
Can you repair sign writing and livery on trucks?
Where a repair disturbs your signage or wrap, we work alongside trusted sign-writing partners to match and reapply it. The aim is for the vehicle to go back out looking the way it should, livery and all.
Do you work with haulage and commercial operators?
We do. Owner drivers, haulage firms and operators running several vehicles are all welcome. If you send work our way often, we can set up an account so the admin stays simple.
