01Approach
The same work gets done when the owner is not there
The commonest problem in engine maintenance is work that was never done looking as though it was. The boat sits in the water, nothing shows from outside, and the difference surfaces mid-season at the worst possible moment.
So every job we carry out is photographed: the part removed, the filter changed, the raw-water circuit cleaned, the compression figure measured. The report tells you the same thing whether or not you were there.
The service schedule is drawn up around engine make, running hours and how hard she is used. Manufacturer intervals are the reference; nothing is waved through with a line saying "general service carried out".
02Scope
The work we carry out
Scheduled servicing
Oil and filter changes to manufacturer intervals, raw-water circuit, impellers, belts and hoses, exhaust line.
Engine overhaul
Top-end and full overhaul: strip-down, measurement, renewal of components and rebuild. Scope and cost are agreed in writing beforehand.
Machinery survey
Pre-purchase or current-condition assessment: compression readings, oil analysis, running hours and a general condition report.
Spare parts supply
Genuine and equivalent parts sourced, with part number, lead time and price given in advance.
Electrical systems
Battery bank, charging system, generator, lighting, navigation electronics and shore power.
Plumbing
Fresh and grey water systems, bilge pumps, air-conditioning cooling line, leak tracing.
Workmanship warranty: six months
Our workmanship on engine servicing and overhaul carries a six-month warranty. It covers the labour we perform; spare parts remain subject to their own manufacturer warranty. Scope and duration are stated in writing on the quotation.
04Process
How a job runs
- 01
Condition assessment
Machinery and systems are inspected on site and the work needed is listed in priority order, with photographs.
- 02
Quotation and approval
A line-by-line quotation is given, with labour and parts shown separately. Nothing is done without your approval.
- 03
Parts sourcing
Part number, lead time and price are confirmed; work starts once the parts are on site.
- 04
Execution
The work is carried out and each step photographed; removed parts are kept on request.
- 05
Report and schedule
A photo-documented report and the warranty terms are issued, and the running hours for the next service are put in the calendar.
Where our scope ends
We carry out engine servicing, overhaul, survey, parts supply, electrical and plumbing work. Hull repair, paint and coating work and major refit fall outside our scope; we refer you to a suitable yard and, if you wish, follow the job on your behalf.
Next step
Tell us about the boat and the plan, and we will give you a realistic duration and price.
With the vessel details, route and dates in hand, our first reply is an assessment rather than a guess.
