Certification and surveys for canal boats
Every boat on the Canal & River Trust network needs a valid Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) certificate, renewed every four years. The examination covers gas systems, fuel systems, electrical installations, ventilation, and fire safety. It's a legal requirement, not optional, so don't let yours lapse.
If you're buying a narrowboat, a pre-purchase survey is strongly recommended. A qualified marine surveyor will check the hull thickness, engine condition, structural integrity, and general fit-out. It can save you from expensive surprises down the line.
Hull thickness surveys are particularly important for older steel boats. Ultrasonic testing will reveal any thin spots or pitting that could become a problem. Most surveyors recommend checking every few years, especially if the boat hasn't been regularly blacked.
