All projects include public liability insurance and no hidden fees.
From single apartment pre-completion checks to large-scale post-completion snagging surveys with thermal imaging and drone roof inspections, we handle every type of project. We also serve surrounding towns and villages — contact us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.

How snagging inspection costs are calculated
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the stage of completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, transparent, all-in quote with zero hidden charges. Booking midweek, confirming key holder availability in advance and providing property details before the visit are all effective ways to keep costs efficient. We will always give you the most competitive quote for your inspection.
