When you arrange your inspection, a local RPSA-accredited snagging surveyor takes care of your entire survey from start to finish — not a call centre taking a cut. We know the local developments and wall types across Cheshire, arrive prepared with the appropriate specialist tools for every property type, and give you a fixed all-in price before the inspection begins.

Same-day and weekend bookings are available across the area. Contact us before midday and we can usually have a snagging inspector with you the same day. Every inspection includes full cover on every project and no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.

Snagging inspection pricing explained

The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the stage of completion, the wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming key holder availability in advance and providing the development name and plot number before the visit are all effective ways to keep costs efficient. We will always give you the most competitive quote for your inspection.
