External (out of water) GRP hull inspection for Osmosis and visual / external damage to underwater appendages.
Inspection for osmosis / wicking with associated hull moisture meter levels
Fees from £9 / ft – When an ocean yacht, motor cruiser, canal narrow boat, broads cruiser are nearly new or the purchaser does not have concerns, we are regularly requested to carry out a below waterline – hull inspection only. This includes underwater appendages eg. keels, extended skegs, rudders, propeller shafts & shaft brackets, bow thruster, anodes etc etc.
Equally insurance companies may also require assurance that the motor yacht / sail boat / steel barge / broads yacht is a favourable risk. Please note insurance companies do vary as to the extent of the hull inspections undertaken.
In many cases an out of the water hull inspection is sufficient. For older vessels insurer’s may well require a Pre Purchase Survey (PPI) report.
For a steel hull vessel / hull this may include an ultra-sound hull survey for plating thickness, this can be undertaken in-water but we will discuss and make recommendations as necessary.
Wood hull yachts the inspection includes both Tramex Skipper Plus Moisture meter readings plus hammer testing and pricking at any doubtful features etc. Internal scantling inspection being subject to additional instruction and fee.
