Boatyard Services

We offer a full range of services to boat owners from diesel and pump out to a full repaint. As a small company we depend on our reputation and ensure that all work is carried out to the highest standard.

Slipway - why not treat your boat to a trip out on our slipway for a hull blacking? We hot pressure wash and apply two coats of International Intertuf - the brand leading hull blacking for narrowboats - all for £7.80 inc VAT per foot including a free stern gear check. New anodes can also be fitted if required. For gloss paintwork on gunwhales and counter bands, please ask us for a quote.

Paintwork - we offer a full repainting service in our heated paintshed. We have the capability to strip your boat right down to bare metal, giving you peace of mind that your paintwork is sound from the primer up the and the boat looking as good as new! Click here to see some examples of our paintwork.

Engineering - from a basic service to a new engine and anything in between! We can also undertake steelwork repairs and alterations, stern gear overhauls or replacements. Running a large fleet of our own boats gives an invaluable insight into preventative maintenance, fault finding and rectification.

Electrical - as Ampower Services, we have a huge experience of new electrical installations, rewires and upgrades. Make charging problems a thing of the past with one of our Ampower Advanced Battery Managers. We are also a Mastervolt energy shop and dealer, giving us access to the best electronic technology available for your boat.

Heating and appliances – Solid fuel or diesel heating installation and services. We are Corgi registered, and can carry out installation, repairs and servicing to any lpg appliance or central heating system.

Inside your boat - our skilled joiners, cabinet and furniture makers can carry out any alterations you may require in a style to match your fitout. Our polisher can then blend the new timber in so the new woodwork matches almost seamlessly. We build a small number of bespoke boats, and normally have an example of our craftsmanship in progress for you to view. We are able to supply flooring and soft furnishings, not to mention all the other equipment necessary for your new saloon, galley, bathroom or bedroom.

Cratches and covers - we specialise in the design and fitting of deckboards and top quality covers.

Cleaning – we offer a valeting service from £200 so you can get on with the important bit of boat ownership – going boating!

Boat Safety Scheme - BSS examinations and compliance work carried out. Hull surveys arranged.
