Rig inspection .. how much and what do I get for the £s?

Is it possible to test the rigging yourself without paying professionals?

Just a reminder that this arose because the insurance company required all recommendations of the pre-purchase survey to be carried out and one of these recommendations was that the rig should be professionally inspected.

Ahhh, you didn't mention a professional check was recommended by the surveyer. And it was he who suggested it, not the insurers. I misunderstood.

Ahhh, you didn't mention a professional check was recommended by the surveyor ... .

You're right ... it would have been clearer to specify that. To be precise the surveyor recommended an 'inspection by a rigging specialist'.

But does your insurance co state what qualifications or experience they expect expect to have?

It seemed like such a simple question...

Thanks to all who replied. I've got everything I need from the thread but do carry on as you wish.
