Fully insured RPSA-accredited snagging surveyors · Same-day slots available · Fixed prices — no hidden fees · Public liability insurance included
When you book with us, a local RPSA-accredited snagging surveyor handles your entire survey from start to finish — not a comparison site taking a cut.

Snagging inspection pricing explained
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, 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 no hidden fees. 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 ensure a smooth booking process.
