Boatyard/surveyor sought for vintage launch

[fantasia7628]

I have been charged with finding a boatyard to undertake a survey and probable restoration of a vintage wooden, electrically powered, canoe launch, 7.9m long, based at an historic house near Maidenhead.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I have found Wootten's, but their website is not functioning. Are there others?

Thanks in advance.

Another that springs to mind is Michael Dennett based on Laleham Reach, Chertsey.

Another couple of options for you;
Henwood & Dean at Hambleden Village (just in the process of moving but worth a call)
Paul Brownjohn at Hobbs of Henley (Wargrave Road) 07957 202195

Spoke to Lucy Henwood when out dog walking the other day. Her and Colin are passing the business on to their colleagues and are not going to be involved any more, although Colin will be doing one off type projects.

Another is Colin Messer at Classic Restorations, Windsor.
Found Colin to have a slightly different view on boat restoration and ongoing maintenance.
Gorgeous results.

Can you elaborate on the "slightly different view" please?
