Not another canopy question?!*

[Coastgal]

Can anyone recommend a good tradesman to make a canopy/tonneau for an old fishing boat - ideally based in/near London? Are there any?

I realise this has probably been posted previously, but can't find it via the search engine. I've found a few recommendations for Solent & Mids-based suppliers, but no one around London.

Cheers.

Jeckels are very good. Reliable too but not cheap.

Is Chatham too far? If not try A & B Textiles & Sailmakers 01634579686. Good quality work reasonable price.
Just a satisfied customer. Geoff

Someone warned me of that, but he did mine very quickly.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good recommendations here.

Cheers!

If you use A&B you will need to keep pushing him or you'll wait months. Otherwise good value and quality.

Seems to be lesson 1 at cover making school I'm afraid, don't turn up when you say and deliver late.
