Sails and Canvas works

The Retreat Boatyard provides full repair services and capabilities. Staff are experienced in a number of areas, but have specific specialisation - whether this is treatments, wooden repairs, fitting works, resin and FRP or different paint systems. We have the demonstrable skill and experience to provide customers both advice and solutions.

Cost comparisons are often difficult to make. Underlying labour rates are rarely a good means to establish either good value or more importantly good work.

 

Most works are provided on a time and materials basis only. Fixed price quote can be given, but we advise customers that for many works this is impractical. We provide budget guides for works to help customers in planning works and/or stages. In about 33% of cases we are under budget, and only in around 10% are we over the specified budget / contingency given.

 

Customers are provied with an estimate before works, and all works are subject to daily reviews. Apart from the departmental managers, we provide a dedicated customer service manager in order to keep communication and feedback going. Most of the larger works undertaken take a few weeks, involving from 20-120 man hours. Here works are planned in stages.

Example Costings and Budgets

Long standing experience in many of the treatment and supplier systems, coupled with good technical knowledge and extensive experience, provide repeatable works of a high standard.

 

In addition, the provision of a suitable environment with the correct facilities, allow controllable treatments delvered on-time and in-budget. A cross departmental approach allows all works to be co-ordinated and end to end delivery under a single works and customer service delivery system.
