N.B. Marine Services - "Nothing is Impossible for Your Narrowboat"


Business Statement

I have an excellent reputation for building, maintaining, painting and repairing narrowboats. With several years of experience I can confidently meet your requirements or aspirations for your narrowboat, however ambitious.

I am based in Northwich, Cheshire on the Trent and Mersey canal, 5 minutes from the famous Anderton Boatlift but my work takes me all over the UK and abroad. Where required I ensure I work with other highly qualified and experienced tradesmen, to ensure I can offer nothing but the best to my customers.

Please take the time to browse my website and find out about the services, my associates and I at N.B. Marine Services can offer. Furthermore please do not hesitate to contact me on 07866 514639 or email me at nbmarineservices@hotmail.com with any enquiries, I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

" Nick asked me if I would mind writing a testimonial regarding the painting of my 60’ narrowboat MIDNIGHT. He needn’t have bothered asking, the testimonial was on its way anyway.

I am 100% thrilled with the work that Nick and Lee have carried out. The result exceeds my (very high) expectations; they have anticipated so many areas and gone that extra mile on so many points. Of course the icing on the cake is their attitude which is first class, down to earth; direct plain talking that cannot be misconstrued. Nick is an engineer, painter and carpenter which means I had loads of overdue jobs done at the same time as the repaint all to a very high standard.

I could go on and on listing the good points, (my wife wants me to mention the good job they did of cleaning the inside of the boat after the work….. now that is praise indeed!) I have no bad points to report, even when the boat had left and it was discovered that Nick still had the door keys, he drove over immediately with a big grin on his face “no trouble at all mate!” ….. now that’s service. (Maybe it’s why 3 members of Lymm cruising club will have “Paint-Shed re-paints” this spring.)

Thanks Nick and Lee for an excellent job, I will never go anywhere else."
