Is it too inconvenient or too expensive to take it to a yard?

Would you like to retain control over the work?

I visit your boat; no need to go to a yard!

Lark - the current boat

I have thirty years' experience of boats and boat fitting on the canals. I can take on water systems, heating systems, toilet systems, lining, painting (inside and out) and any job you care to mention. However, I am not an engineer, so if your engine is playing up you'd be better to contact a mechanic!

This site includes tips and information on various aspects of boat fitting and maintenance. It will give you some idea of my approach to boats and boating. You may, of course, be able to do the job yourself. If not:

1. Contact me by e-mail. Include your own contact details, the location of the boat and a brief outline of the work you want done.

2. Ring me at: 01279 831565: if I am away, ring mobile: 0780 818 6588

I will quote you for the work and you can decide whether to take me up on it. If you want to inspect work that I have done that can be arranged.

Please bear in mind that these pages have been put together to give you a feel for the Canal Doctor philosophy. They represent a very personal view (but I think there are some good ideas here!). All work should be done in accordance with the Boat Safety Scheme a copy of which can be downloaded or sent for by post. It is essential to read this before beginning any work.
