Has anyone used this company and if so what was your verdict. I have an iron keeled 35 footer. I was planning to have the keel blasted then primed immediately. I also have a build up of several coats of antifoul which I was planning to have them blast off. I've been quoted 13.50/foot plus £140 for the keel (and £100) travelling expenses plus VAT. ie about £850 in all. What do u think.?

Price is right and Paul will do a good job for you. Make sure he has good access all round the boat.

As suggested Paul will do a good job.

On the other hand I have seen his guys Coppercoat a boat in light rain on a day with rain forecast.

Why not watch the job being done.

Only bits that can be reached can be blasted. Often the bottom of the keel can't be.
If you can arrange to have it held in the slings, blasting it won't take long.
But then how do you paint it.........
