Struggling with issues from your developer? No need to stress – we’ve got you covered. Our thorough home inspection restores your confidence. You’ll receive a comprehensive “snag list” complete with photo evidence to guarantee no detail is missed.
Cavity Wall Inspections
Prevent expensive cavity wall insulation complications by addressing damp issues and heat loss effectively. Allow our insulation inspection to provide reassurance and peace of mind.
Thermal Inspections
Your residence might be the culprit behind those steep heating bills. If heat loss is plaguing your home, it’s not just uncomfortable—it’s also draining your finances! Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we can assess heat loss in your property and provide a detailed report.
Extension and Refurb Inspections
Ensure that your extension meets the quality you’ve invested in, without any surprises. Our thorough reports on extension and refurbishment snagging can identify potential issues before they escalate.
Pre-completion Inspection
Pre completion inspections, or PCIs, are performed throughout the areas covered by Build Snag, in accordance with the most recent standards and format established by the NHQB (the New Homes Quality Board). This was introduced in 2022 to provide homeowners with a surveyor-completed checklist that enumerates the property’s condition prior to their move in. Developers used to frequently deny us permission to conduct snagging surveys, but the New Build Ombudsman altered this (along with other regulations) and made it mandatory for developers to abide with them.
