Expert Snagging Surveying Services

A snagging survey gives you an independent, expert check of the quality of your home, helping to identify defects, unfinished items and poor workmanship before they turn into expensive problems. Whether you are buying a new-build property, completing a refurbishment or extension, or living in a home still covered by a structural warranty, our inspections give you clarity, confidence and peace of mind. Clear, photo-annotated reports make it easy to show your builder exactly what needs attention, while our RICS Chartered surveying experience provides professional backing when negotiating remedial works.

New-Build Snagging
Buying a new-build should be stress-free, but defects are common and often missed until it is too late. Our new-build snagging inspections provide a thorough, independent assessment of workmanship, finishes, and compliance before you complete or while defects are still the developer’s responsibility. We identify issues clearly, prioritise what matters, and present findings in a practical report you can confidently use to secure proper remedial works.

Refurbishment Snagging
Refurbishment works frequently involve multiple trades, tight programmes, and complex interfaces, which increases the risk of poor detailing and unfinished items being overlooked. Our refurbishment snagging service reviews the completed works against reasonable workmanship standards, drawings, and specifications, highlighting defects, incomplete items, and quality concerns. This helps protect your investment, resolve issues efficiently, and avoid disputes once contractors have left site.

Extension Snagging
Extensions often blend new construction with existing buildings, where defects can be subtle but costly if ignored. Our extension snagging inspections focus on junctions, finishes, weatherproofing, and overall build quality, ensuring the new works integrate properly with the original structure. We provide clear, actionable feedback so you can address issues promptly before final payments are released or warranties expire.

Snagging & Defect Reviews for Homes Within the 10-Year Warranty Period
For properties still within their 10-year structural warranty period, defects may not always be obvious but can become expensive if left unresolved. We undertake focused inspections to identify defects, failures or non-compliant elements that may give rise to a valid warranty claim, including issues affecting structure, weather resistance and durability. Our reports are written to clearly explain the nature and significance of defects, helping homeowners understand their position and take informed action before warranty cover expires.
