WherryNice Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Had mine done by Alan May a couple of weeks ago, cost £150, was on a Hampton Safari. Very impressed with Alan, all straightforward with none of the 'Norfolk' timescales....... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Used Tim Waters for the 2nd time in January, very helpful and only £130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Cost often depends on boat configuration ie. single/twin engine, gas fitted, different setup will take different amounts of time, distance also comes into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I usually get a guy from st.ives to come and do mine as he's done all the previous ones and has photos of all the hidden hose markings, he normally charges me £160 including the extra for travelling (180 mile round trip), I think I'm the only one he'll travel that far for. He used to do mine when I was local to him which is the only reason he still does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 We used Tim Waters last year as he has issued the previous certificates for our boat, very thorough and friendly. He lives at Potter Heigham so not far to come to our boat at Horning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 He'll be missed, a good, helpful and fair examiner and a nice guy too 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89sapphire Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Would recommend Alan May. Helpful and keen to explain things during the inspection process. Communicates promptly and responds to enquiries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to get the boat safety certificate redone straight after the survey of the boat I'm buying, to make sure there is nothing problematic. There is only a year left on the existing one, so I might as well do it as belt-and-braces to the survey, in case I need a bargaining tool on the purchase price Whilst the surveyor I am using a a good marine engineer, he is not a BSS examiner.

Smoggy Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Dan Bullen on 07919 804412 Tell him Dave from snowbird at Norwich give you his number. He is very common sense rather than a stickler for rules and will try and sort things before issuing a fail. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikertov Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Thanks for that Smoggy. I spoke to Dan, and he basically said don't bother renewing the boat safety certificate this early, but run it until just before it's renewal date next year. He said you can renew up to 2 months before expiry, and add that to the next renewal date. With the survey being done (albeit not by an surveyor who is Gas Safe), that should cover most things that would put me off completing the purchase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobster Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Another very good BSS examiner is Will Kirby, and I believe he is in the Brundall area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
