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

Our inspectors know the full range of new build property types found locally — from high-density apartment developments with complex ventilation systems and large estate developments with multiple contractor handovers to individual new build plots with specific structural requirements. 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 subcontractor or temporary staff member. We arrive on time, provide a fixed price 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 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 — get in touch 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. Contact us 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 stage of completion, the wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, transparent, all-in quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, 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.

Solicitors, property investors and housing developers across Dorset 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. Priority scheduling is available for imminent completions, developer handovers and end-of-warranty deadlines.
