Snagging & Defect Inspection
Don't accept a build until it's right
Our independent snagging surveyors inspect new builds and completed refurbishments with no allegiance to the contractor. We find the defects, produce a formal report and manage the remediation — so you get what you paid for.
What we cover
Independent inspection, from survey to sign-off
New build snagging surveys
Comprehensive inspection of newly completed homes before or after legal completion — identifying defects the developer must rectify.
Refurbishment defect inspections
Post-completion inspections for extensions, refurbishments and fit-outs to confirm the work meets the agreed specification.
Formal snagging reports
Detailed, photographic reports with each defect categorised by trade, severity and responsibility — ready to hand to the contractor.
Remediation management
We manage the defect rectification process on your behalf — chasing contractors, verifying completed works and signing off the list.
Pre-completion inspections
Stage inspections during construction to catch defects early, before they are concealed by subsequent trades.
Handover support
Present at practical completion to review the snagging list with the contractor and agree a realistic remediation programme.
