Froggy Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 As some of you will know from other threads i've started, i'm desperately looking for a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor to survey a boat in the London area. The surveyors that are highly recommended in these forums all have their books full for the next few weeks. I've come across quite a few knowledgeable posts by Teadaemon whilst researching the forums, and having looked at his profile it's obvious that they are a surveyor themselves. However, they don't seem to have been active for a year or more. If anybody knows the true identity of this person i'd be interested because i would like to contact them with a view to surveying the boat we're planning to purchase.

carlt Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 He is (hopefully not was) a surveyor based on the Norfolk broads. He may still be posting on the broads forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Ambrose Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Weird, I was only thinking of him the other day. Not sure if he was ever on the Broads Forum but I've not logged on for 2 or 3 years. Reckon he's in the wrong part of the country though Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuthound Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 You could try pm'ing him to see if he responds to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebe Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Norfolk Broads based. E-mail address below dan@burrillmarine.co.uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Norfolk Broads based. E-mail address below dan@burrillmarine.co.uk Thanks, I'll drop him a line. EDIT: I've sent the guy an email. Burril Marine must be a pretty small concern and/or no longer operating though, because they don't appear to have a website, and the last post on the FB page was about a year ago. EDIT 2: Are you sure this is the correct email address though? I've found a thread here which suggests his name is Brendan, who, judging from the FB page, is the guy that runs Burril Marine. http://the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/printthread.cfm?Forum=30&Topic=30350 EDIT 3: Ok, forget Edit 2!! I clicked the hyperlink for Buriill Marine Services in the url above and it comes up with dan@burrillmarine.co.uk. D'oh!!!

Froggy Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 You could try pm'ing him to see if he responds to that. Thanks, i tried that but so far no reply. He doesn't seem to have been active on these forums for some time. I didn't realise that until after i'd p'med him, in fact i thought he had made a post on my own thread directly offering to survey our boat, but when i looked again it was on a thread from 2012 that i'd been reading. D'oh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 UPDATE: I've had a very prompt reply from Brendan. Unfortunately he is no longer a practicing surveyor. What a shame, he comes across as a really decent guy. Ah well, the search goes on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubby Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Alternatively , why not book one of the recommended surveyors for a date asap and just wait ? Mr Tucker did the survey on my boat . These people are booked up because they have good reputations . Worth waiting for i 'd suggest even if it is inconvenient . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow your logic but i'm not sure this is practical for various reasons that i'll embellish on at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
