Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before you enquire.
Can you install new moorings?
Yes. Clyde Workboats can support new mooring installations for private and commercial requirements, including discussion around location, access, ground conditions, vessel needs and the intended use of the mooring.
Can you inspect existing moorings?
Yes. Existing moorings can be inspected so condition, wear, chain, risers and visible hardware can be assessed before maintenance or replacement decisions are made.
Do you provide maintenance?
Yes. Maintenance can be planned around access, weather, tides and the condition of the mooring. Typical work may include checking components, replacing worn items and preparing completion notes where appropriate.
Can you replace chains and risers?
Yes. Chain, risers and associated components can be replaced where the site and mooring arrangement allow the work to be carried out safely.
Do you install floating pontoons?
Yes. Clyde Workboats installs floating pontoons and can recommend or supply a suitable system if required. The approach depends on the pontoon system, location, lifting requirements and available access.
Can you work with commercial clients?
Yes. Commercial enquiries are handled around programme, documentation, access, site constraints, safety requirements and the wider project team.
Can you work with private owners?
Yes. Private owners can enquire about installation, inspection, maintenance and replacement work. A short description of the vessel, mooring location and current setup is usually enough to start the discussion.
Do you cover all of Scotland?
Yes. Clyde Workboats is based in Dumbarton and works across Scotland. All three vessels are road-transportable, so inland waters, lochs and coastal sites elsewhere in the UK can be covered too.
How do quotations work?
Quotations are based on the scope, location, access, required vessel or equipment, timing, weather exposure and documentation needed. Early photographs, coordinates and a clear description help make the quote more accurate.
What information should I provide?
Share the location, dates, mooring or pontoon type, what needs done, any known depths or tidal constraints, access details, photographs and whether the work is private or commercial.
