Protecting What Matters Since 1981
Since 1981, Specialised Covers has built a UK manufacturing legacy in tailored protection, starting out creating bespoke covers for cars, caravans, and specialist vehicles, and evolving into one of Europe’s leading industrial sewing manufacturers. Today, with over 50 full-time employees at our ISO 9001-certified facility in West Yorkshire, we design and produce complex cut-and-sew projects across multiple industries. From precision automotive protection to large-scale technical textile solutions, we’re proud to protect almost anything with craftsmanship, innovation, and quality at the heart of everything we do.
how we work
Our Expertise
Over four decades of experience have shaped our understanding of protection and performance. While we remain leaders in premium car, caravan, and motorhome covers, our capabilities extend far beyond leisure and automotive.
At the heart of our manufacturing process lies a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Our design and development teams still employ classic hand-drafting and templating techniques, refined over decades, to ensure each cover achieves a perfect, contoured fit. These traditional skills allow us to create one-off and highly complex patterns directly from physical vehicles, tooling, or components, a process that remains invaluable for prototypes and bespoke applications.
Alongside this, we integrate advanced CAD and digital scanning technologies to streamline and modernise production. Using 3D scanning and digital pattern manipulation, our engineers can precisely replicate intricate forms and ensure repeatable accuracy for volume manufacturing.
This dual approach, combining the artistry of traditional patterning with the precision of digital design allows us to deliver truly tailored protection, whatever the application. Whether safeguarding a supercar, a satellite component, or specialist equipment, every cover we produce reflects the same core principles: precision, performance, and protection built to last.
how we work
Our Process
Every project begins with collaboration. Our in-house design, development, and production teams work closely with clients to understand the demands of their product, process, or environment. Once requirements are defined, we produce bespoke prototypes using either hand-measured templates or digital CAD designs, depending on the application.
Our 32,000 sq ft facility in Shipley houses everything under one roof, design, patterning, cutting, sewing, and quality control, meaning we retain full oversight at every stage of manufacture. This not only allows for rapid prototyping and short lead times, but also ensures our customers receive consistent, ISO 9001-accredited quality on every order.
Whether you need a one-off technical textile solution or a scalable manufacturing partnership, we have the people, processes, and precision to deliver.
What We Do
Our Capabilities
Car Covers
Caravan Storage Covers
We provide premium protection for caravans during long-term storage. Our covers are designed to fit each caravan exactly, protecting against UV degradation, dirt, and weather exposure. Breathable materials allow ventilation to prevent condensation build-up, maintaining the condition of seals, panels, and graphics throughout the off-season.
Caravan Storage
Caravan Towing Covers
We design and manufacture tailored towing covers that protect caravans while on the move. Each cover shields the front panel from stone chips, road grime, dirt and insects while maintaining clear light visibility. Using proven fastening systems and durable materials, we ensure safety and protection for every journey.
Towing Covers
Garden Furniture Covers
We create bespoke covers for outdoor furniture & kitchens, built to withstand the demands of year-round use. Each one is crafted from robust, weather-resistant textiles that defend against UV fading, rain, and debris. Designed for both practicality and appearance, they help maintain outdoor spaces through every season.
