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 Somerset, arrive prepared with the correct thermal imaging and drone equipment, and give you a clear upfront price before the inspection begins.

Same-day and weekend bookings are available across the area. Contact us before midday and we can usually have a snagging inspector with you that same afternoon. Every inspection includes public liability insurance and no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.

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 return inspection after developer remediation.

Booking midweek, 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 fairest possible price for your inspection.
