About Cluett Carpentry

---

My name is Dan, and I’ve been working with boats for nearly two decades. For over half of that time, I’ve lived aboard my own narrowboat, giving me a deep, first-hand understanding of the unique demands of life on the water. Alongside my marine experience, I bring many years of expertise in carpentry, cabinetry, joinery, design, and project management - skills that are essential for creating thoughtful, functional spaces in often compact environments.

Cluett Carpentry Ltd is a family-run business that officially became a limited company in 2017, after many successful years operating as a sole trader. Our journey has been built on a strong foundation of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for the needs of boat owners.

We’re based in Harlow and primarily serve local marinas, the Greater London area, and surrounding counties. For more involved projects - such as wheelhouses or bespoke cabinetry - we’re happy to travel further afield. Most of the work is carried out in our dedicated workshop, which reduces the need for on-site disruption and helps keep your boat or home clean and comfortable during the build process.

I take pride in being hands-on with both design and production, and yes - I'm also the one running the office! I collaborate closely with a trusted network of skilled craftspeople, each contributing to the creation of high-quality, one-off joinery and cabinetry tailored specifically for boats.

Our work is entirely focused on boats, and we offer a full range of carpentry, joinery, and cabinetry services. We particularly enjoy working on wheelhouses, cratch frames, doors, windows, custom furniture, and galley kitchens. From built-in beds and wardrobes to media walls and office setups, we bring bespoke design and craftsmanship to every project, no matter the size.
