Frequently asked questions

What fire safety systems does my boat need?

Of course — For Titchfield skippers, we treat this as a planning conversation as much as a technical one — getting the right approach saves money down the line.

Drop a message with the yacht's age, type and current setup — we'll quote without needing a visit in lots of cases.

Are fire safety systems required by BSS?

Absolutely — For Titchfield-based boats, we factor in how the yacht's used — coastal hops, cross-Channel passages, or liveaboard — because that changes the right specification. We follow current ISO and BSS boat benchmarks, with full continuity and insulation testing on completion. In Titchfield specifically, we handle this kind of request frequently.
