A picture is worth a thousand words – My Instagram account shows photos of recent jobs and gives a good idea of the type of work I’m getting involved in and what you can expect. https://www.instagram.com/four_counties_marine/
I’m a long established (20+ years) hard working independent narrowboat electrician and take pride in my work. I’ve gained my knowledge, experience and reputation working with top quality Boat Builders and Boatyards. I keep right up-to-date with the latest standards and developments in technology.
I specialise in work associated with power:
- Lithium systems. Strong, reliable, rugged and safe LiFePO4 based power.
- Custom alternator & charging system upgrades. Primarily for lithium. Enabling powerful and unstrained charging.
- External alternator regulators: Total alternator control. Superfast, optimised, reliable lithium charging with BMS integration.
- Top quality solar power installations: Panels mounted flat tightly against the roof on my stainless steel bracket set. 180 degree tilt option.
- 3.5 Travel Power generators.
I’m properly setup with the tools, equipment & knowledge to tackle the jobs that I specialise in and work from a well stocked van & workshop. All of my work is done to the highest professional standards using top-quality parts and equipment.
Based from my workshop near Leek, Staffordshire, my central location covers many popular canals and marinas. Specifically insured to work on lithium battery systems in any Boatyard or Marina.
I no longer offer general electrical work and I’m concentrating on the jobs that I specialise in.
