Types of Boat Survey
Our experience in repairing and restoring a variety of inland waterways narrowboats and barges has lead to a specialisation in the surveying of steel and Iron hulled boats of all types.
As marine surveyors we have become known for a common sense approach to surveying of either a historic narrow boat, a modern narrowboat or a barge.
Marine Surveys Ltd is particularly proud of its links with the boat museums and historic narrow boat operators and is equally proud of its reputation for taking the time to carefully consider how best to satisfy a need for repairs with a need to preserve a boats historic importance.
Marine Surveys Ltd welcomes the opportunity to work with boat owners to devise a repair method and schedule that suits the needs of the boat, the owners budget and the longer term preservation or restoration for both narrow boats or barges.
