Mobile welder needed asap

[Sam226]

Hi all

My 56ft narrowboat is coming out of the water this Saturday (1st may) and I need some welding done.

My welder has just cancelled last minute.

The boat is coming out at winkwell, Hemel Hempstead , they don't have their own welder these days.

The job is a bit of overplating on the side plate where the bow meets the accommodation  (on the bend). Roughly 50cm square.

Anyone know any welders that might be available? Or is anyone out there able to do it?

Thanks

Michael Patterson at Aylesbury can also help.  I don't have his Phone handy, but Contact him via Aylesbury Canal Society.

Do the Kevins still run the place? I'm going back a few years, but I'm surprised any yard owner/manager can't do it.

Little Kevin left years ago, big Kevin was still there a year or so ago and was still his usual self

Mick Golden of M&J Welding has come out at short notice when we were on dock at Aylesbury. Decent bloke and reasonably priced.

Hi all thanks for your replies. Still haven't found someone who can do the job though. In the dry dock now and running out of time.Any other leads?

I thought big Kevin was a welder?? Doesn’t he get his hands dirty now? Mind you even when I moored there I went to get the boat lifted at Uxbridge…..

Google is your friend... Or perhaps you've already tried these.
