What We Check During a Snagging Inspection
External finishes
We check visible external finishes including brickwork, render, pointing, paths, driveways and general workmanship.
Brickwork and render
We look for damaged brickwork, poor pointing, staining, inconsistent finishes and areas that may need attention.
Windows and doors
We check visible operation, alignment, sealing, damage and general finish around windows and doors.
Internal finishes
We inspect walls, ceilings, floors, skirting, architraves, decoration, joinery and other visible internal finishes.
Plumbing and heating
We check visible plumbing and heating elements such as radiators, sanitaryware, pipework, fittings and signs of poor installation.
Electrical accessories
We check visible electrical accessories such as sockets, switches, consumer unit access and general finish.
Common New Build Issues We May Identify
Common issues can include poor decoration, damaged finishes, missing sealant, uneven workmanship, poorly fitted doors, damaged brickwork, incomplete external works, loose fittings, drainage concerns and ventilation issues. Not every property will have the same issues, but a professional inspection gives you a structured record of what has been identified.
Clear Reports You Can Send to Your Developer
After the inspection, you receive a clear photo based report showing the findings, locations and notes for each item raised. The report is written in plain English so it is easy to understand and simple to send to your developer or customer care team. This gives you a professional record of the issues identified, rather than relying on memory, informal notes or scattered photos.
