As temperatures begin to fall and dark nights close in on us – don’t forget to get your Narrowboat ready for winter – especially if you’re going to leave your boat unattended for long periods of time. The winter elements really do damage and it is really worth while taking steps to prepare them for winter.
Please check this link to the River and canals trust website for a DIY guide to preparing your boat for winter – here’s the link: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/news-and-views/features/winterise-your-boat Alternatively Croughton Narrowboat Services offer a full winterisation service for boats.
This service guarantees no frost damage to pipework, pumps, central heating units and engines. The price is £210 and includes recommissioning in the spring but is exclusive of anti freeze if needed. Bookings can be made through the Marina office.
