Based on the edge of the Cotswolds, near the airfields at Nympsfield and Aston Down, we are centrally situated to serve most of central England and the West Country together with a large part of Wales.

This has not stopped customers from the London clubs and even as far away as Australia availing themselves of our services.

Severn Valley Sailplanes is one of the UK's premier glider repairers, and has been involved in the maintenance and repair of gliders since the late eighties.

While we may not be the biggest glider repairer in the UK we like to think that we offer a personal service to our customers. We take great pride in giving good service to all members of the gliding community, offering both individuals and clubs value for money without sacrificing quality.

Over the years we have skillfully undertaken major repairs to both wooden and composite  gliders, to the complete satisfaction of the owners and insurance companies.

Our excellent relationship with insurance companies and their assessors smoothes the way forward in the event of you making a claim.

This reduces delays ensuring that you get back in the sky as quickly as possible.

In November 2002 we launched a new web site based shop supplying user friendly sized repair material kits and associated products. This has due to demand expanded to include instruments, pilot supplies and trailer and tow out parts. The shop now operated not only via the web but also in paper catalogue format as well.

 

 

Alongside all of the above we also manufacture new parts for both the aviation and motorsport markets.

We have invested in both the equipment and the skills to allow us to manufacture using the latest, and best, advanced composite materials available.

Our autoclave is capable of producing high quality composite components that meet the demands of racing engine manufacturers
