When you arrange your inspection, a professional local snagging inspector manages your entire survey from start to finish — not a call centre taking a cut. We know the local developments and wall types across Northern Ireland, arrive prepared with the correct thermal imaging and drone equipment, and give you a clear upfront 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 later the same day. Every inspection includes public liability insurance and no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.

Our snagging inspection teams have been serving homebuyers, first-time buyers, property investors and solicitors across this part of Northern Ireland for years.

Our inspectors know the complete range of new build property types found locally — from multi-storey residential towers with specialist envelope and MEP requirements and volume housebuilder sites with tight completion timelines to bespoke new build homes with specific structural requirements. That local knowledge means we arrive with the right equipment, the right inspection approach and the right expertise for your particular new build — first time, every time.

Every inspection is carried out by a fully RPSA-accredited, insured snagging surveyor — not a third-party contractor or agency worker. We arrive on time, provide a clear fixed quote before we start and do not submit your report until every defect has been documented and you are fully satisfied. All projects include full insurance cover and zero hidden charges.

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 — call us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.

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. Get in touch and we can usually have a local snagging inspector with you the same day or the following morning.

Snagging inspection pricing explained

The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the number of bedrooms and property type, the whether the inspection is pre or post-completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, licensed drone survey or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees. Booking midweek, confirming access arrangements 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.

Solicitors, property investors and housing developers across Northern Ireland rely on us for fast and precise snagging inspections on tight timelines. We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents. Priority scheduling is available for imminent completions, developer handovers and end-of-warranty deadlines.
