Bespoke Jetties & Pontoons

At Redesmere Sailing Club our 60-year-old jetty finally collapsed into the lake. Following a recommendation from a local Club and a few enquiries we decide to use RA Marine to build our brand new jetty. This company were fantastic. They demonstrated lots of experience and expertise from an initial measuring up to installation. Our brand new jetty is a testimony to how professional RA Marine are as a family run company. They listened to our needs about building a 20m jetty which could accommodate junior sailors, less mobile sailors and have wheelchair access. The jetty was built off-site over winter in modular sections. Then they helped to remove the old jetty stumps and expertly installed and fixed the new aluminium framed jetty with expert techniques into the bed of the lake. Chris and his team were extremely professional and we now have a fantastic new jetty which is proving very popular.
The jetty was funded through Sport England (National Lottery) Crowdfunding scheme.

I could not recommend RA Marine enough. Chris has built a team and business thoroughly committed to delivering what the customer really needs. Since our first meeting Chris was honest and decent, he made recommendations that were for my best interests and was great at explaining the pros and cons of my options. When my project was delayed, he was very patient and did not hassle or rush but kindly accommodated the changes. I will only be using RA Marine from now on.

RA Marine Ltd have been absolutely fantastic to work with, from the inception of the idea to completion. I was initially concerned that the jetty might be too modern, but the team worked closely with me on the design which I love. Manufacture of the frame was swift and the installation seamless. We utilised some historic piles which created some challenges but the team took them in their stride and the result exceeded my expectations. I don’t usually write testimonials, but the experience really justified doing so.

We received fantastic service from RA Marine from the initial contact to the installation of the swim pond jetty at South Lodge Hotel. They made everything simple and painless, and the end product is fantastic! We will have no hesitation to use RA Marine again on future projects.

RA Marine filled us with confidence from our first meeting. Our proposal to build a deck at the end of our conservation-area garden, with stepped access down to the water of a tidal river, required skilled and durable work. It also demanded an aesthetically pleasing finish, given the decks prominent position and focal view point from our raised up house and the nature reserve across the water. RA Marine exceeded our expectations. The deck structure is of the highest quality. Their work was undertaken efficiently and to schedule. The team communicated with a high level of professional care throughout. We appreciated their eye for detail and extra efforts to deliver the very best version of the project. The deck, gate and surrounding fence and upright posts have transformed our garden. It has opened our view to and connection with the river. Our now regular kingfisher visitors couldn’t agree more! The steps, which are regularly submerged in the brackish water of incoming tide, are a success and allow us a much more graceful entry and exit for a paddle board potter up the river.

We are delighted with the service we received from RA Marine. They helped us design and build a rowing club jetty that coped with our winter and summer water levels. The winter level has two jetty heights and then in the summer we can add the additional sections to have the whole jetty at summer level.

We demolished our existing jetty and did the concreting required to finish off the project. RA Marine built the jetty sections off site, then came to our rowing club and constructed the jetty. No heavy machinery was required.

The construction process was challenging due to fluctuating water levels. Our experience was very positive and I would definitely recommend RA Marine for your project.

It was a little while ago when we first made contact with RA Marine Ltd about the installation of a jetty and access ramp into our lake. Unfortunately, the works got delayed several times, however, Chris and his team were always understanding and worked with us in order to refine our objectives when the project was eventually agreed once again. The installation was quick and Chris and the team at RA Marine Ltd were exceptionally professional, the resulting works completed to a very high standard. The whole experience from my perspective was very easy and I have no hesitation in recommending RA Marine Ltd to anyone.

With a fluctuating river level of over a metre at the bottom of our garden we needed to be confident that the overall design of a fixed jetty adjacent to a floating pontoon with an access walkway would be practicable.

We were immediately impressed by the professionalism and experience of Chris when he first visited the site and subsequently in preparing a design that was acceptable to us.

The fabrication took place off site and the installation with Chris and his team took a few days. The overall result is a very well engineered product that is also aesthetically pleasing.

We have had our River Garden in the family for more than 70 years, so wanted to ensure that the new landing stage was in keeping with the surrounding as well being enjoyed by all generations of our family now and long in to the future. RA Marine were incredibly patient, supportive and engaging at every step of the journey and have delighted us with an amazing jetty. Thank you Chris and team.

RA Marine did a great job at Thornhill Farm. We required a new swimming jetty in a large lake. Chris visited the property and discussed designs for the jetty. This was then constructed off site and assembled over the lake. They did a great job and assembled the jetty over 2 days. The final result is excellent. It looks great and is well constructed.

RA Marine helped design and build a jetty structure for our parkland lake, to be used as an open water swimming platform. The service was first class and found the team were a pleasure to work with, very helpful and enthusiastic. Would always recommend RA Marine.

I had been fretting as to how I might construct a bridge to the island on my small lake for many months. Having searched the Internet and found RA Marine, my first conversation with Chris was a breath of fresh air! He quickly solved my design issues and with his team, constructed and installed the high quality bridge efficiently and painlessly. He was a pleasure to work with and we are overjoyed with the result.

The service we had from RA Marine was fantastic and the end product all we hoped. The team on site were courteous and professional, finishing up ahead of time and the communication was prompt and helpful. We would gladly use you again.

We worked with RA Marine at Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park to install a new pond dipping platform off the back of a new outdoor classroom building.

Chris and the team were really easy to work with, making sensible suggestions and alterations to finalise the proposed design so we now have a beautiful platform made up of a fixed top platform and floating lower platform linked by a hinged ramp so it’s fully accessible to all.

The installation team were great, showed up on time, good quality of workmanship and left the site in a clean and safe condition. We would definitely work with RA Marine again and fully recommend them.

I was introduced to RA Marine by a neighbour of mine who had successfully dealt with them 7 years previously in purchasing a landing stage/pontoon. From the moment I made contact I was impressed by their professionalism and comprehensive communication. They visited on several occasions to validate the design and plans for the build. At all times we were given options and very clear pricing for each option. We have been delighted with the end product and the excellent service and would recommend RA Marine to anyone.

Chris and his team are a pleasure to work with, they are hard-working, neat and efficient. They kept us informed of the progress and we were extremely happy with the end result. We would highly recommend RA Marine Ltd and are already looking ahead to work with them on further projects.

I cannot praise the RA Marine team highly enough. They were creative with the design of my jetty, which was in a particularly difficult location. They were cheerful and polite during the installation, carried out on time and on budget. Brilliant!
