Last time I checked fountains maintain all 2200 miles of canal for c a r t (canal and rivers trust), might be worth giving them a ring for any subby work.

I used to do tree work for British waterways in London, a bit of a nightmare to deal with to be fair. EA who look after the Thames and rivers are much easier to deal with.

I always found them sound, but I suppose it depends who the contract manager was.

British Waterways

Scottish Canals

Land and Water

Fountains

Ground Control

 

Land and Water are a very good company but i think its all in-house for them. Keep an eye on the public tendering websites for inland waterways tenders.

Land and water did some work near us this time last year , Flood prevention really clearing ditches , culverts and cleaning the river bed ( in full flow ) to get every thing flowing away quicker . Seemed to work ......

I'm sure Gristwood & Toms used to do some work on the canals a few years back ?
