Hirst Boatbuilders Ltd

Old style boat yard offering a secure yard with a large slipway for alterations, hull repairs and maintenance.

Great to find a proper boat yard and slipway that really know boats. Highly recommended.

We had our wide-beam fully plated and epoxied by Nathan and he did a fantastic job and the price was very competitive too. He also helped us find people to help with refurbishment work, such as painting our boat's interior etc.Nathan is always going to save you money because 1) you are dealing directly with the person doing the structural work ie welding, blacking, poxing etc 2) Because Nathan uses his slipway to take your boat out of the water, you won't have to pay the usual craneage fees like you do on most other boatyards. In fact, one quote for cranaege at another boatyard was nearly £2000 for crane hire. Nathan's costs for getting your boat in and out of the water is a fraction of that.This saving alone meant we were able to afford to have our boat done properly within our budget. Also, there is a mooring next door with hard standing, so if you need to store your boat after the work is done, this facility is right at hand.Fully recommend him.

Fantastic service, was able to squeeze me in despite job starting small and ending up big! Nathan is a top bloke
