Re-upholstery in Thames area

[MonaLisa]

Hi folks

I am looking to give my newly bought Princess 35 a bit of a make-over internally as well as hinging the radar arch.

Does anyone have any good experiences with people for re-upholstery, headling, carpets, teak flooring?

Also engineers for doing the arch work.

My first foray into Power - any advice re the Thames and P35s much appreciated.

I can't help I'm afraid but I'm sure others will give sound advice. Anyways, welcome welcome. Curiousity leads me to ask where you are going to be based.
This guy used to do hinging and hydraulic arch's. he's worked for me, don't know if he still does this work though. His number was 07976 264812 the name is Mike Bardowil. I have had no contact for 2/3 years.

Many thanks for the help

I am based at Harleyford - just bought the boat on the South Coast and brought it there last week.

I have spoken to Huthchins Marine who looks like they will be able to do just about all the work I need. I'll also try this number.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks - I had tried the Penton Hook number but no reply.

Will try again along with the others tomorrow.

Very helpful - I'll keep you posted.....

Thanks for posting this and welcome ! It is my intention to re-upholster cockpit and cabin over the winter and was wondering who I could find to do the job - I'll watch for further info. I've used the guys at Penton for various canopy jobs before, but didn't realise they did upholstery. I'll pay them a visit when next down that way.

avoid any company with marine in their decription. I re-upholstered my princess 37 for £800, including all sponge and covers, from a small company on the trading estate beind Asda, the lowest marine company quote wa £1700,

You are so so right. I had mine done two two little old ladies on the now demolished mini-trading estate at Wallingford their work was splendid as was their price.

Behind Asda in Gosport. Where I live.

But they are typical of many local upholsters

The point is that there are many upholsterers that will make what you want, much cheaper than marine upholserers . Just look in your local trader ads.

The company mentioned aboved is however better than most upholsterers. Before setting up on his own he made a great deal of the QE2 refit upholstery.
