Snagging Company have been serving homebuyers, first-time buyers, property investors and solicitors across this part of Kent for years.

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 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.
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 property's structural complexity, 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 property details before the visit are all effective ways to keep costs efficient. We will always give you the fairest possible price 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.
