KILKENNY-based carpenter Paul O’Neill has a background in horse racing and offers a friendly and helpful service repairing horseboxes and lorries as well as all trailers.

With horseboxes used for years with little or no maintenance and usually stored out in all weathers, ramps and side panels deteriorate and become unsafe to transport horses in. Floors of older boxes and lorries rot with frequent use and from being washed out all the time. Paul can identify and make repairs to fix all of these problems.

Paul can arrange brakes and lights to be fixed for you as well as replace tyres in order to have your box or lorry in full working order for the road for you.

He can get paint to match box and lorry colours for repairs as well as get genuine new panels that will last for many years. Side panels and ramps in many boxes have been there since new – anything up to 20 years!

Paul also offers friendly advice on which secondhand horsebox may suit your needs and what to watch out for when buying a box. Many secondhand boxes can be overpriced with repairs needed on top which will lead to a lot of money spent. Trade-ins can be discussed. Stable rooves also repaired or made.
