Quick-Turnaround Woodwork, repairs and alterations for Liveaboards and Cruisers
Full boat refits require months of planning, but minor interior issues shouldn’t
hold up your cruising season. If your narrowboat needs a layout tweak, a quick repair, or a storage upgrade, our workshop diary at Frouds Bridge Marina is open for small-scale projects along the Kennet & Avon
Canal.
Common Projects We Handle
No joinery job is too small. We specialize in fixing the awkward, unique spatial
problems that standard domestic carpenters cannot handle:
- Companionway & Cabin Steps: Custom-built oak steps designed with integrated hidden shoe storage or general storage.
- Galley Upgrades: Replacing worktops, adding custom wine racks, or modifying cupboards for new appliances.
- Space-Saving Additions: Fitting tables, pull-out side hatches, custom bulkheads, cupboards, wardrobes, and corner shelving units.
- Doors & Hatches: Trimming sticky internal doors, replacing hatches, deackboards and repairing exterior cabin doors.
- Bathroom Modifications: Upgrading vanity units to accommodate marine plumbing or compost toilet installations and complete shower rooms.

take on work at our Aldermaston base or travel to your mooring near:
