BOAT-FITTING

All the boat fitting is based on the ideas and requirements of the owner.

Mobile boat fitters with-in the UK, Ireland & Europe so I can work where your boat is moored, depending on the work involved.

With 35 years experience working on many vessels,

– Dutch barges, yachts or motor boats –

I am able offer a full or partial re-fit.

WHEELHOUSES

There are two main types of Wheelhouse, fixed and collapsible.

The fixed version such as a steel one will need windows and doors – a couple of the windows will need to open for ventilation.

The most common Wheelhouse on a barge is the collapsible type – usually made from hardwood and often double-glazed,

although consideration must be given to the extra weight.

The lift-off roof needs to be strong and lightweight.

If you need a replacement or you have a wheelhouse that needs some attention please use the contact form.

Skylights

Skylights can vary in size from a small “Pigeon Box” for a narrowboat to a lift-off Skylight on a barge big enough to allow larger items of furniture such as sofas or heavy items like washing machines to be lowered down.

Usually made from hardwood, it can be double-glazed to cut down on condensation.

The frame is scribed to fit the cabin top and joined together with comb joints, and down the centre is the ridge section with a gutter running each side, on top is where the openers are hinged.
