Inspection Packages & Prices
Clear pricing for professional new build snagging inspections across South Wales. All inspections include a detailed visual inspection and a clear photo-based report.
When should you book a snagging inspection?
Many homeowners are unsure when to arrange a snagging inspection. The best time depends on your completion date, developer access and whether you have already moved in.
Before completion
Where access is agreed with the developer, a pre-completion inspection can help identify visible issues before handover.
After completion
If you have already moved in, a post-completion inspection can help record visible defects, poor finishes and incomplete work clearly.
Before customer care visits
A snagging report can help you feel more prepared before 7-day visits, home demonstrations or early customer care appointments.

Booking a snagging inspection should feel simple. Here is what happens from your first enquiry through to receiving your report.

Key Areas We Inspect
We check visible and accessible areas inside and out, including services and safety fittings. This is a visual snagging inspection to find cosmetic defects, not a structural survey or full system test.
Internal finishes
We check for visible defects and workmanship concerns on all walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and trims.
Windows and doors
We check for visible damage, operation, alignment, gaps and finish quality.
Kitchens and bathrooms
We assess the visible installation quality and surface finishes of all units, worktops, tiling and sanitaryware.
External areas
We examine visible brickwork, render, paths, drainage covers and boundaries where included.
Services and fittings
Visual review of electrical faceplates, plumbing, heating controls, radiators and air vent points.
Visible concerns
We highlight visible cracking, movement, distortion, or dampness that may require expert investigation elsewhere.

Leighton’s report was clear, detailed and professional. It helped me understand the issues properly and gave me the confidence to raise them during a contractor dispute.
