  1. I’m looking for a Boat Safety Examiner in the Newbury area if anyone could please recommend one . thanks in advance
  2. Thank you for your advice, we have changed our minds now and are doing things differently.
  3. ok thanks we will have to come up with a plan
  4. shes not as bad as picture looks but I couldn't unstretch it and get a good photo
  5. I agree with you but inside she is great got her for a bargain price and took her out for five weeks with no major issues ( apart from getting stuck in lock) had her out of the water and she looks great with recent overplating so hopefully she just needs TLC Yes windows are awful but hopefully new windows will help.
  6. The Window we were hoping to move is back black one , we were hoping to move it to change layout
  7. Yes thats it in the apertures. We have inserts at the moment if that makes a difference.
  8. Sorry Two windows welded up so that at a later date we can put smaller ones in .
  9. Hi hoping to get two standard windows welded up and was wondering if anyone could recommend anyone near Thatcham area . Please TIA
  10. I will def be looking into both options but we will be putting windows in at a later date just moved slightly and slightly different shape we have steel window insets at moment.
  11. Brilliant thanks . I will try to contact kev.
  12. Hi I'm looking to get 4 windows plated and welded up and wondered if anyone could recommend anyone to use , the windows are 48 by 18 inches. Many thanks in advance.
  13. We reversed down two locks and reversed back to winding point and then were craned out at Braunston
  14. Thank you Harnser thats very interesting I will have a look
  15. Thank you that's the type of advice I was after ...not planning on complaining was just wondering if anyone else had had this situation . Thanks again
  16. CRT said our over plating must have come unlodged and that they could not help us. 1 other boat also got stuck after us but as they were coming down the locks they were flushed through by CRT. I don't feel I'm owed compensation I was just enquiring as I thought these sites were for helpful advice Vectis.
  17. We were heading up the locks and had already gone through 2 of the flight Yes ythere was a gap all the way round small though but you could see where the boat had lifted and we were off the bottom we were 3 quarters of the way in
  18. This is one issue we have most recent survey says 6.10 but sur veys done in the 90s say 7 Crt Did say some of the bricks had moved in the bottom and one was sticking out at the side but as it was a bank holiday and Easter weekend they didn't seem enthusiastic
  19. We have recently got stuck in Napton Lock 10 where we got 3 quarters in and then our front end got stuck . called RCR out who then contacted CRT .Rcr got us out after a lot of struggling and said it was a problem with the lock. CRT then said it was a problem with our boat and told us to turn around. To cut a long story short we had to have our narrowboat craned out and moved to our new mooring costing us over £2000, but we did get to have a look underneath and she is perfect at 50ft with a draft of 2.2. My question is does anyone know if there is any compensation I can get from CRT and how I should go about it. Many Thanks In Advance
  20. Ok thankyou I will see what their prices are
  21. Luckily for me the transplants were 2009 and 2019 so have had plenty of time to recover , we currently have moorings till April but in Milton Keynes so costing us a fortune to get up to do the work needed but thankfully my husband is a very clever man so can do all of the complicated work and I just need to do the pretty work at the end.
