Your Canal and River Boat Surveyor
With decades of experience navigating the intricate world of canal boats, I am an experienced marine surveyor based in West London & Buckinghamshire, providing expert services across the UK. My journey on the canals began in my teenage years and having previously managed my own boatyard, I possess an extensive understanding of Narrowboats, Widebeams, Historic boats, Barges, Steel and Iron. This hands-on experience, coupled with a suite of industry qualifications, allows me to deliver thorough, reliable surveys that ensure the safety and integrity of your vessel.
Whether you need a pre-purchase survey, insurance survey, or expert advice on canal boats, my wealth of knowledge and commitment to excellence makes me a trusted partner for all your marine surveying needs.
