Chris
has been involved in the inland waterways since school days, when from the
age of 15 years he enjoyed a number of canal holidays.
After leaving school, Chris was a part-time boatman for London Borough of Hillingdon Youth and Community Services for a number of years, before owning a number of boats of differing styles, and extensively travelling the inland canal network.
Until 2008,
he owned the ex-working narrow boat "Skylark", taking her back to full
working boat trim following extensive restoration. During this time he delivered
several commercial loads with "Skylark", most notable was the transportation of cobblestones for Chris Coburn of Lee
Sanitation, as seen on the Carlton TV series "Water world" and often
repeated on Sky Discovery channel.
Chris has fully fitted a number of boats over the years, and for the last five years has worked full time undertaking Boat Safety Examinations, LPG gas work on boats and general plumbing installations on boats.
Having lived on the water for the last 10 years at Sileby near Loughborough, Chris also has a boat and mooring near Braunston on the Oxford Canal.
All work undertaken is covered by full Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance, with copies available on request.
