Marine Restoration & Refit Services
March & Co Marine Ltd specialises in wooden boat construction, restoration, refit, and high-quality marine finishing for traditional wooden vessels, classic yachts, and modern craft. Services range from structural timber repairs, plank and frame replacement, and traditional joinery through to complete restorations, sympathetic refits, and professional marine paint and varnish systems designed to withstand demanding marine environments.
With extensive practical experience in boatbuilding and restoration, we possess a detailed understanding of timber behaviour, moisture management, vessel construction, surface preparation, and marine coating systems. This knowledge enables us to deliver work that is not only visually impressive but also structurally sound, durable, and fit for long-term service at sea.
Whether undertaking conservation-led restoration of a historic vessel, repairing structural timber components, refinishing brightwork, or carrying out a complete vessel refit, every project is approached with a commitment to quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and respect for the vessel's character and intended use.
March & Co Marine Ltd undertakes restoration, refit, and marine finishing projects throughout the South Coast, East Coast, East Anglia, London, and the South East, with work further afield considered by arrangement.
