P&S provide an essential service to Canal boaters in the South east. With their fantastic crane and full access for trucks bringing boats for launch . Their main business is their efficient hull blacking but also allowing for DIY should you wish. They have plenty of experience , no nonsense advice and a friendly supportive crew from the top down. I would recommend them without reservation .

The team at P&S did a fantastic job with my Humber Keel barge. They were incredibly helpful and did a very thorough job of grit blasting and epoxy coating my ship. We were pretty unlucky with the weather but they made sure the job was done right and didn't cut any corners despite unavoidable delays. I would have no hesitation using them again.

I just spent a week in P & S Marina and it was a really good experience. It’s a working boatyard so, as it was my first time, I was nervous and a bit intimidated. However the staff were very welcoming and on hand to give appropriate advice. I’d really recommend this place and I’ll definitely be going back. Thanks again to P & S Marina for all their help.

An amazing experience from start to finish. Ralph and his team literally couldn't be more helpful not just with the main job of blacking, but using their experience and knowledge to help with any other issue we quizzed them about. They really went beyond and above what they needed to and make the experience such a fun and interesting one.
Everything was done perfectly in time, clearly outlined beforehand, organised really professionally and the team's attitude to the work is clear indication of their love for it. Everything was done with a smile and a joke and puts the many companies I've worked

10/10 for P&S and all their staff
Tom, Ralph and the rest of the staff were very supportive and welcoming to me and my young family. Whilst we were there to do our DIY blacking, P&S went above and beyond to make us feel at home in the yard.
Once craned out P&S did a fantastic job with the pressure washer which saved me a day and made my prep work easy to get stuck in with painting.
When extra jobs came up they were supportive, quick to source new parts and fit them in time for our boat to be craned back in as scheduled - all with zero stress!
Refreshing to find an honest yard that deals with

A belated thank you to Ralph, Tom and the team for taking care of my home while with you for blacking and a few other bits and bobs a few weeks ago. It's not always the case that communication is that good with trades people but it was spot on. It's well oiled machine of a boat yard and I'll definitely be back. 👍

A brilliant boatyard, lovely people. I’ve just spent a week in the yard to have my narrowboat craned out to be blacked, a few new anodes and several other niggly engine and electrical jobs that have been mystifying me for a while. Of all the boatyards I’ve ever used, I have been most impressed with P&S marine. The atmosphere is calm, professional… and friendly. Tom and Ralph run things very proactively (not always a given in the world of the canal!) They treated all my questions and requests with importance and respect. They were very clear and honest about how and when they

Tom, Ralph and all at P&S Marine are very professional and fabulously laid back and accommodating when changes arise. I booked for two weeks, but was in fact there for two months, yet always felt welcome on site. They are helpful above and beyond both with information and things you might need (they ordered me some paint, gave me some spare blacking, lowered the boat at no cost to make painting easier etc). Easy to park and you can drive alongside your boat if you have stuff to unload. Or it's a 10-15 min walk from Watford underground. Next time, I'll have the full shot blast as they did a beautiful

Incredible customer service. I took my boat into p and s marines for some new anodes to be fitted and to black the hull, even though I was very naive and inexperienced with boats Tom and Ralph were very supportive and patient, they provided additional tools, instruction and advice to allow me to black the hull myself. They went above and beyond in… all aspects, I wont be going anywhere else for work in future. If you want a fair price, excellent customer service and expertise then look no further. If only I could find a car mechanic with the same qualities!
