Welcome to Glascote Fender Maker's

Fender-maker's specialising in hand made marine rope fenders, mooring lines, ropes, chain & shackles for all types of boats including canal boats, wide beams, Dutch barges to name but a few, I also make bespoke tv & film set props. Only the highest quality materials are used in the construction of all fenders and attention to detail is paramount.

About Phil English

Phil English is a traditional fender-maker having lived, worked and travelled the UK canal system in a 110-year-old ex Fellows Morton & Clayton working boat. I now have premises in Glascote Tamworth making traditional and bespoke rope canal boat fenders using only the highest quality materials.

As a time served fender-maker lucky enough to have been guided and encouraged by the very best in the business I pushed myself hard to perfect my skills/style and have many people complimenting my work. I also promote the craft of fender-making by teaching the craft and doing demonstrations at various events, past ones include the Braunston Historic boat rally, The International Guild of Knot Tyers annual meeting and for the Crick Historical Society.

My mother ordered a button bow fender from you for my historic narrow boat ‘Beatty’. I fitted it to Beatty for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant which we took part in earlier this month. I am delighted with the fender which looks magnificent on the boat – I’m sure the Queen noticed it when we passed her on the Royal Barge!
