Staines Speedboat Collection
Speedboat Collection From Staines
A speed boat collection from Staines started off our December. It’s usually a very quiet month for us as the country gears up for Christmas.
Understandably people don’t choose the build-up to the festive season to deal with their problem boat. It’s usually once the last of the cold turkey has been finished off that attentions turn back to other issues. We often find that getting rid of a boat is more likely to be a new year’s resolution.
First Collection of December
All that being said we still have enquiries trickling in through our Scrap Calculator. Our first collection of December 2019 was a small speed boat from Staines. The boat is 14ft and is sat on a trailer. Apart from needing a good clean out, we couldn’t see much wrong with her.
The owner is sadly going through a divorce and was looking to clear all boat-related items from the property. Therefore whilst our team were there collecting the boat from the driveway we were asked to look at some brand new dinghies and a river cruiser still afloat on the Thames.
Thames Removal
We may soon be back up on the Thames removing the larger riverboat from her mooring outside of the house. In the meantime the small speedboat will be offered to anyone who might want a project boat. It’s in fairly good condition so it would be a real waste if it was crushed before someone had the chance to use her.
In addition, her Force outboard isn’t seized and we are confident that it will work again. The chances are the boat has been sat unused for some time, if the covers are anything to go by.
If you have a boat sat in your garden like this customer why not take the initiative and get it removed. Just fill in our Scrap Calculator and we will send you a Free no-obligation quote of the costs involved.

Luke completed a journalism degree in Brighton University and fortunately for us uses this in his communications, Facebook posts, Tweets and emails to tell all our enquirers and followers what we are up to. Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about.
He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent!
When he’s not at work he’s a massive football fan (his Dad used to play for Portsmouth FC years ago) and seems to know everything there is to know about any player, anywhere. Next time you ring and he answers, think of a tricky football trivia question and ask him
