When you arrange your inspection, a local RPSA-accredited snagging surveyor handles your entire survey from start to finish — not a comparison site taking a cut. We know the local area across United Kingdom, arrive prepared with the correct thermal imaging and drone equipment, and give you a fixed all-in price before the inspection begins.

Same-day and next-day slots are available across the area. Contact us before midday and we can usually have a snagging inspector with you later the same day. Every inspection includes basic insurance as standard and no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.

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

Our inspectors know the full 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 individual new build plots 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 subcontractor 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 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.

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 de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming key holder availability in advance and providing property details 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.
