Gallows Bridge

Stopped for a spot of lunch, easy access to the leeds Liverpool canal here

I live next door,boats lifted in and out efficiently.

Our narrowboat hit an underwater obstacle not far from this yard. They fitted us in very quickly to take the boat out of the water and fix the propeller and check the propeller shaft, which RCR had recommended. Lots of helpful advice and comments from them - and they spotted and fixed a separate potential problem which will save us time and money later. Friendly service, very reasonable prices. I hope all our future breakdowns are within easy reach of this place! Highly recommended. Thank you.

This is a fantastic firm! I had a problem with my bow thruster while trying to Moor at Apperley Bridge towpath opposite the new flats. Steve at appley Bridge Marina recommended I got myself down to Gallows Bridge Boatyard to get craned out of the water, as they have a telly loader that can lift 40 tons, I arrived unannounced and withont an appointment but they managed to fit me in within a week so while I was out the water I got them to do 3 coats of blacking and manufacture an additional battery box for my bow thruster, modify the hinges to the bow locker. All done at the drop of a hat very helpful very friendly family-run firm I can't recommend them highly enough. So may I wish you and all of them all the very best with the future.PS very reasonable rates!Kind Regards Reg Skinner(Tin Slug)

Got a little welding job done on my narrowboat which was done quickly and efficiently. Refreshing to not be mucked around unlike recent past experience elsewhere!Will certainly be using Gallows Bridge again in the future. Thanks lads, appreciate your help!

Best shipyard going. The team are lovely and helpful and they offer cheap services! You won't regret stopping by.

Gallows Bridge are fantastic, by far the best yard about. They're extremely accommodating and go above and beyond to help. A hidden gem, I'll be back!

After a very traumatic event in Dobson Two Locks we were left with a very bent rudder. I rang round local boatyards and was told to contact Gallows Bridge Boatyard.A friendly voice at the other end of the line told me they could sort it the following day.We limped back to Shipley and reached the yard at 10.00am. We were prepared to move out to a hotel for several days.In the event, the boat was craned out of the water, the rudder was mended and we were back in the water by 2.00pmThe two brothers and their father who run the boatyard and other staff were absolutely brilliant. Not only did they do a great job but they were very kind and helpful. They helped to restore our confidence and turned what could have been a serious problem into a blip in our journey. Other boaters we met also commented on their efficiency and kindness.I cannot recommend them highly enough

An amazing experience and very cheapReally helpful staff giving us advice and helping us out any way they couldWe paid £350 for a lift In and out, 7 days in drydock where we where able to stay on our boat while it was out of water, we did the work ourselves but asked for advice which the staff where happy to givePolite funny and friendly,Highly recommended26ft sailing yaught2.6 draft
