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 subcontractor or temporary staff member.

All projects include full insurance cover 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 — call us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.

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.
How snagging inspection costs are calculated
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the whether the inspection is pre or post-completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, 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 ensure a smooth booking process. We will always give you the most competitive quote for your inspection.
Solicitors, property investors and housing developers across County Down 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.
