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.

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.

How snagging inspection costs are calculated
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 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 no hidden fees. 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.

We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents.
