Any Specialist Products or Services?John works for individual clients, on behalf of insurance companies and boat builders. The reports produced are factual statements on the condition of a vessel at the time of inspection and are dependant upon the type of survey commissioned. A copy of the report is sent out within 72hrs of the survey being completed, in the form of a PDF document sent direct to the customer’s computer and a hard copy via 1st class post. Oil and fluid samples can be taken for analysis.
Hi John, I have just got the hard copy. Its the model of what a survey should be, comprehensive, clear and precise. In view of the potentially serious nature of the deck distortion, and the state of the teak deck, I have decided not to go ahead with the purchase.( I have to say that the vendor did not appear surprised or dismayed.....as I certainly would have been...) As luck would have it I am off to view another 1 of these boats in Scotland, & hoping for better things. Thanks again, I am sure you have saved me a lot of sleepless nights, anxiety and hard cash!
