Recommended Surveyors in the Midlands (Great Haywood Marina)

[Mattes Neubauer]

Hello folks!

 

I've been looking at these surveyors for y survey:

 

 

Stephen Hands

Michael Clarke

Peter Tindall

Ricky Tropman

Jonathan Leask

Iain Jones

 

Any experience with them? Any other recommendations for the midlands?

What can I expect from the survey? How long should it take? And cost for a 40 feet boat?

 

Thanks a lot!

I have used Steve Hand twice. Very happy with his work. Good reports with loads of photos to refer to later. First one put me off buying a lemon. Second confirmed she was a goodun

I'll second Steve Hands. Used him for a survey and found him very professional and a good detailed survey, although no photos. Would use him again definately, but bear in mind anything that can't be undone by hand without tools isn't inspected by any surveyor.

Ask (each of) the surveyors how much they charge for a 40' boat!

Have used Steve Hands for RCD certification so no price comparison available. Always on hand (pardon the pun) to provide extra advice as well without racking up further expense. Explains what he is doing clearly. Based at Sawley Marina and very well thought of.

Steve Hand from handson marina !!! Top bloke - he did a very thorough survey on our Springer, professional report and provided hull photos on disc as well . He was so knowledgable and happy to answer all sorts of questions about our boat ad besides he's a really nice guy and reasonably priced. I would recommend him any day.

I must confirm that I have found the disk with 54 detailed photos of the hull, interior, engine etc. First time I had seen it, as I received the preliminary survey as a PDF attatchement in an email and the actual written survey report to my care of address with the disk. I have just dug out the survey report and there is the disk with photos
