Painting in Yorkshire for 56ft barge

[Roger West]

Has anyone advice for a hull and topsides repaint in Yorkshire. Boat in Wakefield but can obviously travel. Looking for early 2022. Any ideas on who’s best in region and likely costs would be appreciated. Many thanks

It would be useful to know the dimensions of the boat. A barge suggests a wide beam vessel of some sort which may limit options whereas a narrowboat would offer more opportunities. Additionally, would you need any other work doing at the same visit?

Howard, yes, good point. She’s 56ft x 12ft with wheel house. Needs engine and generator service also plus a few jobs inside. Thanks

Early 2023 will be a lot easier, I had to book 11 months in advance for mine. Narrowboat so not same tunnel/dock.
