When you book with us, a local RPSA-accredited snagging surveyor manages your entire survey from start to finish — not a call centre taking a cut. We know the local area across England, arrive prepared with the correct thermal imaging and drone equipment, and give you a fixed all-in price before the inspection begins.

Same-day and next-day slots are available across the area. Get in touch before noon and we can usually have a snagging inspector with you later the same day. Every inspection includes basic insurance as standard and no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.

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 wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, licensed drone survey or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming access arrangements 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.
