What Is an Elevating Roof?
An elevating roof, or pop-top, is a roof section on a campervan that lifts up to give you extra headroom. When closed, it sits flush with the vehicle’s original roof, keeping things streamlined and compact.
When opened, it expands vertically—often with fabric sides—to give you the ability to stand inside your van, move around comfortably, or sleep up top.
It’s ideal for cooking, getting changed, or just enjoying the open space. Most roofs also include mesh windows for airflow and natural light.
Campervan Elevating Roof Services
We offer a full range of elevating roof conversion services, tailored to fit your van and your travel needs. From fitting the roof itself to adding optional extras like a roof bed, scenic canvas, or interior lighting, everything is installed by experienced professionals. We also provide insulation, safety checks, and full certification.
Roof Bed Installation
Make the most of your roof space with a fitted roof bed. Our foldaway beds are lightweight, strong, and comfy, designed to hold two adults easily.
We secure each one safely within the pop-top, giving you an upper sleeping deck that doesn’t take up room below. Great for families or couples, it adds a whole new level to your camper setup.
Scenic Canvas Options
Our scenic canvas options let you open up the sides of your pop-top roof with zipped panels.
Perfect for views, airflow, and those sunny summer mornings, these canvas panels turn your van into a more open and relaxing space. Choose from a range of colours and materials to match your van and personal taste. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
Insulation and Lining
To make your van feel more like home, we offer full insulation and lining inside the new roof. This helps with temperature control—keeping heat in during cold nights and reducing heat in summer. It also improves soundproofing.
Finished with clean, professional interior lining, it gives your camper a polished, comfortable feel that’s perfect for year-round use.
Safety Testing and Certification
Every conversion we do goes through full safety and structural testing. We make sure the elevating roof is secure, watertight, and road-safe.
Once complete, we issue certification that meets DVLA and insurance requirements. You can drive away with peace of mind, knowing everything’s been done properly and professionally.
Supply and Fit of Elevating Roofs
We supply and professionally install elevating roofs designed for all the most popular van models. Our team handles everything from precise cutting and structural reinforcement to weather-sealing and finishing.
We only use trusted brands, and every roof is installed to meet both visual and safety standards. You’ll get a clean, factory-style fit with full functionality, adding value and practicality to your van.
Lighting and USB Points
We can add built-in LED lighting and USB ports to your new roof space for added convenience. From soft ambient lighting to brighter work lights, we’ll wire your setup to suit your needs.
USB ports are ideal for charging phones and other gear, making your camper easier to live in—especially off-grid or at night.
Best Vans for Elevating Roofs
Not all vans are created equal when it comes to pop-top conversions. The most popular and suitable options include the VW Transporter (T5/T6), Ford Transit Custom, Renault Trafic, and Mercedes Vito. These models have the right size, shape, and structural integrity for safe and secure roof installations, making them ideal platforms for elevating roof conversions
Extra Headroom
One of the biggest perks of an elevating roof is the ability to stand up inside your camper. It makes things like cooking, changing clothes, or just moving around far more comfortable.
No more crouching or awkward bending—it feels more like a proper living space. Plus, it’s great for your posture on long trips!
More Sleeping Space
Adding a roof bed gives you another level for sleeping, freeing up your main van area.
It’s a smart solution for families, couples, or anyone who wants flexible sleeping arrangements.
Our beds are comfy, foldable, and easy to use—ideal for kids or adults alike. Just pop the top and settle in.
Ventilation and Light
With mesh windows and scenic canvas options, elevating roofs bring in loads of natural light and fresh air. This helps keep your van feeling airy, reduces condensation, and improves overall comfort.
On warm nights, it’s a game-changer. During the day, it just makes everything feel more open and relaxed.
