That local knowledge means we arrive with the right equipment, the right inspection approach and the right expertise for your specific property — first time, every time.
Every inspection is carried out by a fully RPSA-accredited, insured snagging surveyor — not a third-party contractor or temporary staff member. 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 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 number of bedrooms and property type, 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, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, 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 Northern Ireland rely on us for prompt and precise snagging inspections on tight timelines. We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents.
