Our inspectors know the full range of new build property types found locally — from multi-storey residential towers with specialist envelope and MEP requirements and large estate developments with multiple contractor handovers to bespoke new build homes 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 third-party contractor 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 — contact us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.

What affects your inspection price
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the stage of completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, licensed drone survey or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, transparent, all-in quote with zero hidden charges. 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 fairest possible price for your inspection.
