Jetties and Moorings
MARINE CONSTRUCTION
Working on projects around the Lake District and beyond; our aim is to leave a trail of happy customers and that's because we believe in word of mouth recommendation over and above all else.
Hi, and welcome to Jetties and Moorings a well established friendly local firm with a reputation built on quality and reliability. We have worked on numerous projects on waters other than Windermere throughout the Lake District and beyond.
We are a tight knit team who have worked closely together over the past 34 years and have built up a great reputation throughout the North West. We have worked on numerous projects on Waters, Meres, Lochs, Rivers and Canals throughout the UK and Scotland.
Jetties and Moorings is a family run business and has been in operation for over 34 years, originally for the purposes of building and repairing Jetties and laying Moorings on Windermere. As time has passed, our range of expertise has grown. We now cover all our lakes, lochs, rivers and canals throughout England and Scotland. We have a vast range of services to do with water-orientated construction, from canal work, dredging and piling, to boathouse construction, slipways and groundworks.
Windermere lake, at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep, and containing 300 billion litres of water, is the largest natural lake in both the Lake District and in England, and is fed by numerous tributaries.
During the November floods of 2009, more than 372mm of rain fell over Cumbria during a single 24 hour period, resulting in the highest ever lake level. That was a record daily rainfall figure for the UK.

Our barges are often booked out for firework displays at annual events or special occasions such as weddings, WOW Festivals (Windermere On Water).
In November 2009, Jetties and Mooring were asked to provide a large floating pontoon to be used as a filming platform for a Coronation Street special set in Windermere, The Lake District.
A growing annual event, the great north swim at The Low Wood, Windermere is another event Jetties and Moorings is regularly involved in. Our mooring barge is used to set out the markers for the course prior to the race.
