Welcome to Geater Coachtrimmers

Geater Coachtrimmers is a family run business specialising in traditional vintage coach/car trimming. We’ve a long established reputation as Vintage and Classic Vehicle Coachtrimmers.

Richard Geater, son of Alan Geater, works with his father and a dedicated team in bringing world renown quality workmanship to all applications.

Alan Geater has been a coachtrimmer for over 53 years. Starting at 16 years of age, he worked at Phil Mortimer Coachworks in Reading. Phil Mortimer, formerly of Weymans Coachbuilders, employed Alan as an apprentice initially for another member of staff, Jack Adey. Jack learnt the traditional skill of coachtrimming at both Vincents of Reading and Thrupp and Maberley. The standards and skills learnt in these years continue to form the basis of Geater Coachtrimmers today. Staying true to the art of coachtrimming is the foundation of the business.

Richard Geater has himself been in the motor industry for over 18 years, working as an accountant in a motor dealership for some time before deciding to up tools and continue the family name in a specialist market. With Richard now on board, the business moved to bigger premises in 2011 – now based in Thatcham. In fact, November 2023 marked a momentous milestone in Geater Coachtrimmers history with a third generation joining the family business.

Alan and Richard Geater continue to work alongside one another with a dedicated team, and are well known for an unrivalled level of workmanship and fine attention to detail. Having a reputation which is recognised worldwide for quality, they have seen various prizes at Pebble beach, and other such concourse events.
