This is where it gets difficult do I post all the problems or not.
I suppose if it's true I'm not in the wrong.
Very nice guy when you first meet. Like father like son.
New hood, instrument cover, headlings all sorts.
after 18 months of delays he took me to court. Mr Judge sided with me and told jeckells to correct faults and complete job.
I asked for the instrument panel to come with a window. Jeckells decided not to put a window in it because he didn't think I needed it. How am I going to see the dials.
It goes on. I tried not to let it bother me but when it interferred with my boating I wasn't happy.

Just shows.
I have recently had excellent service from them at what I consider a very reasonable price.
1st time I have had a hood and cover made, on time for the quoted price to a good standard.
There are 2 Jeckells in Wroxham. 1 makes sails and the other covers etc. Not sure if they are linked?

Glad to hear it went well for you. I know there are 2 Jeckells. Jeckell and son was the one I found to be useless.
Andrew Jeckell was the son ( chocolate fire guard springs to mind ). Can't remember dads name.
