 Nick Thorpe Boatbuilding
We are a family run business based in Seighford, Stafford.
I started as a apprentice in 1991 for two of the highest regarded boatbuilders in the industry.
Over the years I've throughly enjoyed learning and developing my boatbuilding skills, and I strive for complete satisfaction for my clients as well as myself. In 2004 I decided to bite the bullet and go it alone, with the help of my wife Wendy in the office. This means I now build quality narrowboats that I proudly put my own name to. Everything is overseen by myself and nothing is overlooked. Each boat is built to the client's specifications and to my own designs on traditional lines. Please call us for an informal friendly chat about your narrowboat.
 Our Boats
We construct steelwork in traditional, cruiser or semi-traditional styles right up to 70ft. However our shorter boats from 30 - 45ft can be built at non-inflated prices.
Our steelwork comprises of 10/6/5/4mm, and is finished with two coats of bitumen and two coats of red oxide. |
