Hull surveys are non-destructive surveys that test the structural integrity of the hull of steel, aluminum or GRP boats. 

Depending on the construction and material of the hull, ultrasonic thickness testing, corrosion, or osmosis and blistering is evaluated and quantified. 

​

Whether for insurance, a legal dispute, or for the seller; request a condition and/or valuation report from us. Current local market conditions, as well as consultations with local brokers are taken in to account to provide the most accurate valuation possible.

Remote valuation surveys are also available from us.

This is usually accompanied by a valuation report.
