Good selection in chandlery very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices excellent. We travel from bath to pick up supplies as it is well worth the journey for the savings you get.

Typical canal chandlery, buy cheap tat online then mark up 200%, superiority complex fuelled by a captive market but no actual training, absolutely no customer service or professionalism. All for supporting small businesses but when there’s ABC’s chandlery next door who have the ability to talk to another human being.. best to take your business to those that have some respect for their customers

Lovely people. Very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. They stock almost everything you might need, from barge poles and planks to solar chargers and charge controllers. Paint, elsan chemicals, diesel, oil, fittings, switches, fuses, filters, batteries, wood, coal, kindling, and almost everything else. Highly recommended.
