how much

[kingswood]

is £400 a rip off for being pulled out for 4 days for diy work or normal

[RLWP]

Cheap!

[MtB]

Expensive!

 

 

[Alan de Enfield]

Expensive for 'up-North'

About right for the 'Midlands'

Very cheap for 'Down South'

[ditchcrawler]

Does it include putting you back in again? I guess it wouldn't cost much more to stay out for a week

Well I was thinking £100 to drag it out, £100 to put it back in, and £100 a week for hard standing would be a typical midlands price.

My last dry docking was £170 first day,and £45 per day thereafter.

They would only let you book three days,because they needed the dry dock for other work.

I would expect to pay less for a lift out/in and hard standing.

[Ex Brummie]

Just been craned out for survey/blacking. £350 was for craning out and back. No charge for time on bank.

[MtB]

As others have said, we need more information.

 

Is it going on the hard standing or will it be blocking up a working dry dock preventing paid-for work being done? Is it north, midlands, south or London?

[BWM]

It depends on many factors mentioned above but some yards hire in a crane and these tend to be more expensive. 

I noticed your forum name is Kingswood, any connection to the area? Only asking as the dry dock above Hatton is very reasonable and you may end up paying not a lot more for them to do the blacking/docking as a package.

‘Down south’ in Uxbridge dry dock for a week in a friendly boatyard is £300. 

[kingswood]

no its on the river soar and i believe boats are just pulled out on a dolly it is undercover so i dont know if that makes a difference to price, another marina near by charges a lot less but its not under cover and is only for two days unless booked for a bank holiday

[harrybsmith]

I would have thought Redhill would be the cheapest on the Soar. Sounds about right price wise

I guess that you are talking about Sileby Mill. If you are having work done its worth getting them to pressure wash the hull as they have a good high pressure washer. Its not the time of year to be doing blacking even if its under cover - it would be OK in a heated dry dock.

So it’s not for blacking to be carried out then I guess. 

[Greyladyx]

That's about right price where I am.

 

 

[kingswood]

yes it is for blacking and welding on some anodes, and no not doing at this time of year

Blacking and anodes should ideally take 7 days, not two. 

[Rory_d]

I think that’s reasonable considering I’ve got to pay just over £300 to get craned back in!
