Talk to us
Overview
Burnham is a proper sailing town with several clubs on a short stretch of the Crouch, and Burnham Week keeps a serious racing fleet here. Most of it comes ashore in October.
It is a compact market where reputation travels quickly along the waterfront, which suits how we work.
Local focus
Almost entirely marine and heavily weighted to sailing yachts. Rigs are a bigger question here than in a motor-boat market: plenty of owners leave the mast stepped over winter, which means framing around the rig and detailing the film where it meets the standing rigging so there is no chafe point. Burnham Yacht Harbour and the Wallasea side both lift a lot of boats in a short window.

Getting to you
Batched with our Essex runs through Maldon and Southend. Book the survey in September for the best of the season.
We cover CM0 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across Burnham Yacht Harbour, the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, the River Crouch moorings and Essex Marina at Wallasea. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Burnham-on-Crouch job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.

Illustrative figures. Your Burnham-on-Crouch survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Burnham-on-Crouch work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Burnham-on-Crouch rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Burnham-on-Crouch enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
