Blacking - oop North

[Guest]

Our plans had been to get The Dog House blacked in the Midlands this/next month, and we had a short list of poss. places based on other threads.

 

Our move North happened a bit more sudden than expected so this will not now happen and we need some one on or near the Aire & Calder/Eastern L&L.

 

Not fancying the DIY option -

 

Any suggestions preferably based on experience.

 

Many thanks....

You can try Saville Town Wharf, Dewsbury, they'll pull it out and blacken it for you at a fair price.

Not had any experience with these guys but try Goole Boathouse or Viking Marina (Goole). Goole Boathouse is a covered drydock and will take around 10hrs to get there from Lemonroyd.

Try Selby Boat Centre, They seem pretty clued up..

Hi Martin

 

Had ours done at Shepley bridge on the calder and hebble last month they did a very good job very reasonable price. We are up there today a nice canal but the locks are a tad heavy and have not much improved since last up here in 90.

Although I always get mine done here at Sowerby Bridge, my neighbour always goes down to Shepley Bridge to get hers done (because it's cheaper) and she seems quite satisfied. I came up the whole of the C&H a couple of days ago, and only found one lock difficult (Park Nook). Some have actually improved.

Hi Martin, don't know where you are but Hainsworths just above Bingley 5 rise are very competent.

We've just had ours done at Pennine Cruisers at Skipton.

 

A strange experience as you go into this hole under the timber yard and a large 4 post lift lifts you up out of the water. Only takes about 20 minutes to bring you up.
