Can anyone recommend a surveyor in Ipswich?

[dedwards]

I have the ydsa list but was wondering if anyone had any personal recommendations.

Peter Davies 01206 823289 in Colchester is very thorough, I have used his services.

He advertises in PBO (P147 Nov. issue)

Adrian Overbury at Lime Kiln Quay, Woodbridge.
Served his time at Whistocks, then independent boat builder.
Knows his stuff, have used him before.
Sorry don't have his tel. no. to hand.

I used Martin Evans at Kirby-le-Soken, Colchester, Tel 01255-677883 Mobile 07887-724055 when I bought my first boat a year ago (an old pre war wooden jobby). A season on and nothing has materialised that he did not spot and he produced a survey that was very clear and offered good advice for future maintenance.

I second Martin Evans - he does survey work on behalf of Pantaenius among other things & is very thorough.

Nice chap too.

I used Martin Evans last year and my mate used him the year before. Very practical bloke and very helpfull suggesting how I should carry out some of the jobs I had to do. He even called to see me when near the yard I was in just to see how the job was going.

thanks for the replies. I've contacted Martin Evans but he's fully booked until January so I guess I'll try the others next...

hes very good & fair to both sides.
i phoned him after he surveyed my Co 32 for the prospective new owner, thanked him for a very impartial survey.

I got recommended Stephen Read - Felixstowe. Gave my old banger a good going over with sensible recommendations.

Adrian Overbury is one of the few who do steel in the area, and a nice guy too.

 

[Neil_M]

You could try Terry Davey in Felixstowe - old friend & incidentally inventor of the HotVac osmosis treatment.

Peter Davies - see Gin's post - did well for me.
