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

Our inspectors know the complete 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 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 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. We arrive on time, provide a clear fixed quote before we start and do not submit your report until every defect has been documented and you are fully satisfied. All projects include public liability insurance and zero hidden charges.

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 — call us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.

Same-day inspection service

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. Get in touch and we can usually have a local snagging inspector with you the same day or the following morning.

What affects your inspection price

The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the number of bedrooms and property type, the stage of completion, the property's structural complexity, 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 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 Kent 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.
