When you arrange your inspection, a local RPSA-accredited snagging surveyor manages your entire survey from start to finish — not a middleman 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 next-day slots are available across the area. Book early 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.

Same-day snagging inspection

If you need an inspection at short notice — particularly if you are facing an imminent completion date — same-day slots are available subject to availability. Contact us and we can usually have a local snagging inspector with you the same day or the following morning.

What affects your inspection price

The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the number of bedrooms and property type, the stage of completion, the wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, licensed drone survey 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 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.
