what our clients say
'Being new to boating, Rolf was brilliant in keeping us informed and prepared at each stage of our pre-purchase survey.

Choosing Rolf as our surveyor saved us money and kept our eyes wide open for a major investment into our dreams. Thank you!' - Charlotte Gorse

'Throughout the entire process Rolf was professional, easy to deal with and communicated brilliantly with us. Rolf's reports are extremely detailed but more importantly written in a way that makes sense.
