How snagging inspection costs are calculated
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the stage of completion, the wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, transparent, all-in quote with no hidden fees. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming access arrangements 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.
